Dissipative Effects in Electron Glass: Relaxation Dynamics Study

Explore the slow relaxation dynamics of quantum glass in thin films of crystalline or amorphous indium-oxide, tuned for hopping regime analysis. Discover how applying large source-drain fields, changing gate voltages, and altering temperatures affect the electron glass phenomena, as studied through electromagnetic radiation methods. Investigate various protocols and memory effects in the study of electron glass dynamics and temperature-dependent behavior. Discover the relationship between disorder and temperature on the relaxation rate and the significance of G* in the electron glass relaxation process. Uncover insights into the unique behavior of electron glass compared to classical glasses.

  2. …slow relaxation… Robertson and Wilkes, Polymer, 42, 1581 (2001) …quench the sample from high T… In2O3-x The basic phenomena Samples are thin films of crystalline or amorphousindium-oxide, disorder-tuned to be in the hopping regime unless otherwise noted:T»4K

  3. …apply large source-drain field… …change gate voltage… indium-oxide film Sio2 cover-glass Gold film …or raise temperature… …more ways to get it out of equilibrium...

  4. …just like changing gate voltage… …not all photons are born equal… …zap it with light… …one more way to get it out of equilibrium...electromagnetic radiation

  9. Dynamics – how is measured …one way to estimatet... G* t amorphous indium-oxide[PRL, 81, 669 (1998)]All samples with SIMILAR resistance The Two-Dip Experiment

  10. Dynamics – measured differently …as function of temperature…

  11. Dynamics …as function of n…

  12. The relaxation rate of the electron glass is: Either T independent or it slows down with T(in contrast with classical glasses) T dependence diminishes with G* (determined by n) AOTBE – the larger G* is, the slower is the relaxation rate

  13. …off the record…
