Abstract
A numerical method is developed to study the scaling of distribution of couplings of highly random antiferromagnetic Ising and quantum Heisenberg spin-\textonehalf{} systems. The method shows how freezing into inert local singlets prevents ordering down to temperatures well below the median nearest-neighbor coupling or bare exchange percolation threshold in positionally disordered systems with Heisenberg exchange varying exponentially with distance (e.g., doped semiconductors, quasi one-dimensional salts). This is contrasted with the Ising system.

Spin glasses: Experimental facts, theoretical concepts, and open questions

TL;DR: In this article, the most characteristic properties of spin glass systems are described, and related phenomena in other glassy systems (dielectric and orientational glasses) are mentioned, and a review summarizes recent developments in the theory of spin glasses, as well as pertinent experimental data.

The Anderson-Mott transition

TL;DR: In this paper, the interacting disordered electron problem is reviewed with emphasis on the quantum phase transitions that occur in a model system and on the field-theoretic methods used to describe them.

Entangled quantum state of magnetic dipoles

TL;DR: This finding is significant because it shows that entanglement, rather than energy-level redistribution, can underlie the magnetic behaviour of a simple insulating quantum spin system.
