Pyrochlore Lattice Structure of Spin Ice and Spins on a Tetrahedron

Caption

Figure one shows the pyrochlore lattice structure of spin ice and spins on a tetrahedron. The left shows Pyrochlore lattice structure. Each lattice point (red) hosts an electron spin. The right shows Directions and configurations allowed for spins located at vertex points of the unit tetrahedron of the pyrochlore lattice structure.
