Some materials are ferromagnetic. They create a magnetic field around them. Some are paramagnetic: they become magnetized in the presence of a magnet.
It depends on the temperature.

Un spin donné ne perçoit pas seulement ses voisins immédiats, il a "envie" de s'anti-aligner avec tous ses voisins, plus ou moins fortement selon la distance entre eux.
A given spin does not only want to anti-align with its nearest-neighbors, but also with the farther neighbors; the tendency is stronger when spins are close by.

On a besoin de nombres pour décrire comment un lien est partagé entre deux cellules voisines, i.e. quel pourcentage est dans quelle cellule.
We need some numbers (weights) to describe how an interaction is shared between overlapping cells, i.e. what percentage of the interaction is taken into account in a cell.

Well-chosen = we can select only the configurations that correspond to frustrating the smallest number of links.

By Jeanne Colbois
Public PhD defense - in Switzerland, we have a private defense with the Jury only, and a public one aimed at the family and friends and in general a broader audience.. These are the slides I used in for the public defense of my PhD thesis (directed by Prof. Frédéric Mila) on 20.05.2022 at EPFL.
Physicist @ CNRS. Here you find slides for *some* of my presentations, as well as visual abstracts for recent publications.
