| Abstract | In certain spin models, the geometric spin arrangements frustrate the system since not all of the nearest neighbor spin interaction energies can be minimized simultaneously. A classic example of this is the spin ice system, named after the similarity between magnetic ordering on a pyrochlore lattice and proton ordering in water ice. Spin ice behavior has been observed in magnetic materials such as Ho2Ti2O7, where the magnetic rare-earth ions form a lattice of corner-sharing tetrahedra. The spin-spin interaction energy in such a system can be minimized locally when two spins in each tetrahedron point inward and two point outward, leading to exotic disordered states. There are several open issues in these systems, such as whether long range interactions order the system, or whether the true ground state of spin ice is ordered. We demonstrate how a superconducting vortex version of artificial ice and other frustrated configurations can be realized using nanostructured defect sites, as well as a colloidal version of artificial ice using charged colloidal particles in arrays of elongated optical traps. Using numerical simulations, we show that these systems obey the ice rules of two-spins-in, two-spins-out at each vertex. We find a transition between a random configuration and a long-range ordered ground state as a function of colloid charge, trap size, and screening length. We show that both the ice rule ordering and a thermally-induced order-disorder transition can occur for systems with as few as 24 traps and that the ordering transition can be observed at constant temperature by varying the barrier strength of the traps. For the vortex system, defects in the traps induce grain boundaries of differing densities. These systems can also be used to explore various other types of ordered and frustrated systems with different lattice geometries, such as a honeycomb lattice which prevents the formation of a long-range ordered ground state. Experimental versions of frustrated artificial ice systems could allow for direct visualization of the dynamics associated with frustrated spin systems, such as deconfined or confined spin arrangements, as well as spin dynamics at melting transitions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
