Tension-free Dirac strings and steered magnetic charges in 3D artificial spin ice

Abstract 3D nano-architectures presents a new paradigm in modern condensed matter physics with numerous applications in photonics, biomedicine, and spintronics. They are promising for the realization of 3D magnetic nano-networks for ultra-fast and low-energy data storage. Frustration in these system...
