. By doing so, first order The resulting magnetic phase diagram of LiZn 2 Mo 3 O 8 is shown in figure 2d. Near room temperature, the system is paramagnetic and the spins thermally randomize. Cooling below the condensation temperature (T ~ 96 K), two-thirds of the spins form a condensed valence bond state. The remaining one-third spins are still paramagnetic and interacting antiferromagnetically until lower temperatures, at which point they lose entropy in a yet-to-be determined manner.
