Abstract
The authors introduce here an artificial spin system consisting of single-domain nanomagnets that are lithographically defined into trimers. Placing these trimers into a triangular lattice with a variable lattice parameter allows for direct control of competing interactions. The result is a system that can move between two long-range ordered phases: a vortex-dominated phase and a ferromagnetic phase. When competing interactions are perfectly tuned, however, the system gets caught within a highly disordered phase with short-range correlations.
