  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011213",
  "term": "Spin-glass transition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A magnetic phase transition where a disordered magnetic system enters a state characterized by randomly frozen magnetic moments, without long-range magnetic order. This transition is observed in certain alloys where magnetic impurities are randomly distributed in a non-magnetic host. It is a type of second-order phase transition.",
