Glass of spin

A glass of spin is a state of the matter, characterized on a microscopic scale by a magnetization of each atom, in a random direction (local magnetic order, but magnetic absence of order to long distance). The name “glass of spin” comes from an analogy with the Verre, which characterizes the solid material state whose atoms are not laid out in a periodic way (i.e. crystalline).

The glass of spin is an ordered state, and its formation corresponds to a Transition from phase, appearing at a called precise temperature temperature of glass of spin . The state of glass of spin was observed in experiments in alloys made up of magnetic atoms and presenting disorder.
