The term "frustration" in the context of magnetism was originally used by P. W. Anderson and quickly adopted for application to the description of spin glasses and later to very special lattice types, such as the kagomé. The original use of the term was to describe systems with competing antiferromagnetic interactions…

We found that device-quality thin films of amorphous oxide semiconductor, a-In-Ga-Zn-O, unintentionally include high-density hydrogens over 10 20 cm −3 but the electron concentration remains low at ∼10 15 cm −3 in as-deposited states. The hydrogens exist in the form of hydroxyl group –OH, but most of them are inactive…
