Magnetization reversal and emergent magnetic monopole-like state in square artificial spin ice vertex with defects

We have investigated the micro-magnetic behavior as well as magnetization reversal of dipolar coupled magnetic nanoislands with strong shape anisotropy arranged in a square artificial spin ice geometry. Our 0 K-temperature simulation results show that metastable two-in two-out state is stabilized at...
