Fragmentation of magnetism

In physics as in chemistry, it is well known that matter can become ordered, as for example in a crystalline solid, when cooled to sufficiently low temperature. There also exist systems that remain disordered in the manner of a gas or a liquid, even at the lowest temperatures accessible experimentally. What is much more rare, if ever observed, is a state of matter that would be both ordered and disordered everywhere in the system, i.e. that would be both solid and liquid for example. Full text.

A quantum phase transition seen from 0 to 600 K

We are accustomed to attributing phase transitions from an ordered state towards a disordered state to a temperature increase that agitates the atoms till the order is totally broken at a critical temperature Tc. However, this type of transition can also occur at strictly zero absolute temperature, when a parameter such as pressure or magnetic field or (in the case of an alloy) the proportion x of one component is varied.
