We study phase transitions in classical spin ice at nonzero magnetization, by introducing a mean-field theory designed to capture the interplay between confinement and topological constraints. The method is applied to a model of spin ice in an applie... Read More about Mean-field theory for confinement transitions and magnetization plateaux in spin ice.
