Abstract: The behavior of total purely quantum correlation (discord) in dimers consisting of dipolar-coupled spins 1/2 is studied. We found that the discord Q=0 at the absolute zero temperature. With increasing the temperature T, at first the quantum correlations in the system increase, smoothly reach the maximum, and then turn again into zero according to the asymptotic law T2. It is also shown that in absence of external magnetic field B, the classical correlation C at To0 is, vice versa, maximal. Our calculations predict that in crystalline gypsum mCaSO4cdot2H2O the value of natural (B=0) quantum discord between nuclear spins of hydrogen atoms is maximal at the temperature of 0.644 muK, and for 1,2-dichloroethane mH2ClCCH2Cl the discord achieves the largest value at T=0.517muK. In both cases, the discord equals Qapprox0.083 bit/dimer what is 8.3% of its upper limit in two-qubit systems. We estimate also that for gypsum at room temperature Qsim1018 bit/dimer, and for 1,2-dichloroethane at T=90 K the discord is Qsim1017 bit per a dimer.
