✦ Synopsis

Magnetic measurements show that monoclinic Cr 2 Sn 3 Se 7 exhibits many of the defining characteristics of a spin glass below 30 K. Low-temperature 119 Sn Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy and neutron powder diffraction data are also consistent with the occurrence of short-range magnetic order. This behavior is discussed in relation to the probable nature of magnetic interactions and the origin of randomness in Cr 2 Sn 3 Se 7 .
