Question

This quantity names a type of material modeled by the Edwards–Anderson and Sherrington–Kirkpatrick models. (20[1])Those materials named for this quantity are represented as a lattice of stochastically-aligned (20[1])magnetic dipoles (20[1])and (20[1])are called this quantity’s “glasses.” (20[1])Three matrices denoted “sigma-sub-k” (20[2])that are used to represent this quantity (20[1])along coordinate axes (0[1])are named for (*) Wolfgang Pauli (10[2])(“POW-lee”). This (10[1])quantity (10[2])for a particle (10[1])determines if its exchange (10[1]0[1])is symmetric or antisymmetric. (10[3])This quantity’s quantization was revealed (10[3])by (10[1])how a magnetic (10[1])field deflected (10[1])silver atoms (10[1])in the (10[1])Stern–Gerlach (10[1])experiment. Fermions have (10[1])half-integer (10[2])values for, (10[2])for 10 (10[1])points, what type of quantum intrinsic angular momentum? (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: spin angular momentum [or spin glasses; prompt on intrinsic angular momentum; do not accept or prompt on just “momentum”]
