Spin glass

A spin glass is a material exhibiting high magnetic frustration. Its magnetic structure is disordered even at low temperatures.

The origin of the behavior can be either a disordered structure (such as that of a conventional, chemical glass) or a disordered magnetic doping in an otherwise regular structure.
