Electron glasses Autores/as Matteo Palassini Electron glasses Matteo Palassini Department of Condensed Matter Physics, University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia. Universitat de Barcelona Institute of Complex Systems (UBICS), University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Catalonia Palabras clave: glassy dynamics, structural glasses, spin glass, disordered insulators, hopping conduction Resumen Electron glasses are disordered insulators with long-range interactions that exhibit slow non-equilibrium electronic transport effects. After introducing the basic physics of disordered insulators and hopping conduction, I briefly review the experimental evidence of glassy dynamics in these systems and some of the theoretical work aimed at understanding its origin. Similarities and differences with structural glasses and with another glass of electronic origin, the spin glass, are pointed out.
