TLDR
In this paper, a lattice model of spinless interacting electrons is used to formulate the Landau theory of the Fermi liquid to electron-glass quantum phase transition and it is shown that the presence of additional random site energies does not affect the character of the transition, once the replica symmetry breaking is considered self-consistently at the mean-field level.
Abstract
A lattice model of spinless interacting electrons is used to formulate the Landau theory of the Fermi liquid to electron-glass quantum phase transition. We demonstrate that the presence of additional random site energies does not affect the character of the transition, once the replica symmetry breaking is considered self-consistently at the mean-field level. Inside the glass phase, the low temperature conductivity assumes a non-Fermi liquid δσ∼T 3 / 2 form, in agreement with recent experiments.

Fermi-liquid instabilities at magnetic quantum phase transitions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the instabilities of the Fermi-liquid state of conduction electrons in metals with particular emphasis on magnetic quantum critical points, with the aim of assessing the validity of presently available theory.

Disorder-driven non-Fermi liquid behaviour of correlated electrons

TL;DR: A broad overview of disorder-driven non-Fermi liquid behavior can be found in this article, where the authors describe both their phenomenological aspects as observed in experiment, and the current theoretical scenarios that attempt to unravel their microscopic origin.

Mean-field theory for the three-dimensional Coulomb glass

TL;DR: In this article, the low temperature phase of the three-dimensional Coulomb glass was studied using a mean-field approach, which reduces the full problem to an effective single site model with a nontrivial replica structure, and was shown to assure the saturation of the Efros-Shklovskii Coulomb gap in the density of states.

Glassy behavior of electrons near metal-insulator transitions.

TL;DR: This work predicts the emergence of an intermediate metallic glassy phase separating the insulator from the normal metal, expected to be most pronounced for sufficiently disordered systems, in agreement with recent experimental observations.

Strongly coupled quantum criticality with a Fermi surface in two dimensions: Fractionalization of spin and charge collective modes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe two-dimensional models with a metallic Fermi surface which display quantum phase transitions controlled by strongly interacting critical field theories below their upper critical dimension.
