Abstract
Though mixed crystals can form orientational glasses, the short-range model of the isotropic quadrupolar glass does not have a glass phase in three dimensions at non-zero temperature. A Monte Carlo investigation is presented which suggests that the glass phase is stabilised by cubic anisotropy.Keywords
