I've read in an article that the 1D Ising Model in a random field is a frustrated system. But what does it mean for the 1D RFIM to be frustrated?

The internet is very unhelpful. I'd appreciate it if someone could answer this for me.

Thanks.

Frustration usually means that there is an infinite degeneracy of the classical ground state. The random field effectively turns the system into that of a spin glass, where the interactions between spins will become effectively random. A spin glass has lots and lots of degenerate states, so I guess this is where the frustration comes in.
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
