We study the low-temperature behaviour of spin ice when uniaxial pressure induces a tetragonal distortion. There is a phase transition between a Coulomb liquid and a fully magnetised phase. Unusually, it combines features of discontinuous and continuous transitions: the order parameter exhibits a jump, but this is accompanied by a divergent susceptibility and vanishing domain wall tension. All these aspects can be understood as a consequence of an emergent SU(2) symmetry at the critical point. We map out a possible experimental realisation.

  1. Hearing the light: stray-field noise from the emergent photon in quantum spin ice

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Finite-size emergent-photon modes produce measurable, boundary-condition-dependent stray-field noise: superconducting boundaries give sharp NV-detected spectra, insulating boundaries give none.
