Magnetic charge propagation upon a 3D artificial spin-ice

Two-dimensional artificial spin-ice systems have been studied for over 15 years but do not capture the detailed geometry of their bulk counterparts. Here, the authors fabricate a three-dimensional artificial spin-ice and show that the surface termination plays a crucial role in dictating the magneti...

Description
Summary:Two-dimensional artificial spin-ice systems have been studied for over 15 years but do not capture the detailed geometry of their bulk counterparts. Here, the authors fabricate a three-dimensional artificial spin-ice and show that the surface termination plays a crucial role in dictating the magnetic charge transport.
