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.read more

Mean-field theory for the three-dimensional Coulomb glass
Markus Müller,S. Pankov +1 more
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.
