Explore the effects of frustration and Coulomb interactions in electron-glass systems under electromagnetic excitation. Discover the quenching from high temperature, slow relaxation phenomena, and the influence of various factors on conductance. Investigate how non-ohmic fields and temperature changes impact the system's equilibrium. Uncover the unique behavior of hopping conduction in the presence of electromagnetic waves.

EC is set by the Coulomb interaction higher energy, correlated distribution, conductance = high Equilibrated Out-of-equilibrium Lower energy, correlated distribution, conductance = lower High energy, random distribution, conductance = high Slowrelaxation Fastrelaxation
