Devil's staircases without particle-hole symmetry

We present and analyze spin models with long-range interactions whose ground state features a so-called devil’s staircase and where plateaus of the staircase are accessed by varying two-body interactions. This is in contrast to the canonical devil’s staircase, for example occurring in the one-dimens...
