“…But we think that it is natural to seek an analogy between the glass state in C 60 and ordinary spin glasses, more precisely, orientational glasses in systems with molecules that are simpler than the C 60 molecule, such as either a mixture of orthohydrogen and parahydrogen or an N 2 -Ar mixture. Our aim here is to try to describe low-temperature orientational glass in C 60 on a microscopic level in the spirit of spin glass theory based on our previous papers: on one hand, a rather successful description of quadrupole glasses [18], [19] and, on the other hand, a microscopic theory of the orientational phase transition in C 60 at 260 K proposed in [20], [21].…”
