This chapter finally deals with the concept of spin glasses. The intention is not to provide anything approaching a thorough history of the subject. The field today is broad, with threads and subthreads extending in a multitude of different directions. Rather, the chapter focuses on a relatively narrow part of the overall subject. It discusses some of the history of their discovery, their basic properties and experimental phenomenology, and some of the mysteries surrounding them. It introduces some of the basic theoretical constructs that underlie much of the discussion in later chapters. Topics covered include dilute magnetic alloys and the Kondo effect, nonequilibrium and dynamical behavior, mechanisms underlying spin glass behavior, the Edwards–Anderson Hamiltonian, frustration, dimensionality and phase transitions, broken symmetry and the Edwards–Anderson Order Parameter, and energy landscapes and metastability.
