DOES THE QUADRUPOLAR GLASS INDICATE A NEW-TYPE OF SPIN-GLASS

We discuss the problem of ordering random-bond and disordering random- field effects in the quadrupolar orientational glass. Molecular field estimation, improved by configurational and thermal fluctuations, is g iven in the framework of the short-range model for site-diluted ortho- para hydrogen mixtures. We conclude that quadrupolar glass orientation al ordering critically depends on the random-bond effects and is drive n by strong correlated molecular and reaction fields.
