Our results in three dimensions are consistent with the Efros and Shklovskii prediction for the density of states. Finite-temperature Monte Carlo simulations show no sign of a thermodynamic glass transition down to low temperatures, in disagreement with mean-field theory. Furthermore, the random-displacement formulation of the model undergoes a transition into a distorted Wigner crystal for a surprisingly broad range of the disorder strength.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-02-12T18:45:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.10.Nr", "05.50.+q", "64.60.-i", "75.40.Mg" ], "keywords": [ "coulomb glass", "critical behavior", "finite-temperature monte carlo simulations", "thermodynamic glass transition", "single-particle density" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "Feb", "volume": 102, "number": 6, "pages": "067205" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvL.102f7205S" } } }
