Orbital dimer model for a spin-glass state in Y2Mo2O7

The formation of a spin glass generally requires that magnetic exchange interactions are both frustrated and disordered. Consequently, the origin of spin-glass behavior in Y2Mo2O7—in which magnetic Mo4þ ions occupy a frustrated pyrochlore lattice with minimal compositional disorder—has been a longst...
