Summary

Description
English: Spin glass can result when atoms interact with conduction electrons. Here we have a schematic diagram of 4 electron waves scattered by 4 magnetic atoms far apart. Each atom is at the center of a succession of concentric spheres of decaying waves. The electrons mediate the interactions among the atoms, whose poles can flip because of the influence of other atoms and the surrounding electrons. Reproduced from Stein, Daniel L. "Spin glasses." Scientific American 261.1 (1989): 52-61.
