“…These phenomena were predicted theoretically several decades ago [4][5][6][7][8] and were termed the electron glass [7] because the glassy properties are attributed to the conduction electrons. Experimentally, a growing number of systems have been reported to show such glassy behavior including discontinuous Au [9,10], amorphous and polycrystalline indium oxide films [11][12][13][14][15], ultrathin Pb film [16], granular aluminum [17,18], thin beryllium films [19], NbSi [20], Tl 2 O 3−x [21], GeSbTe [22], and discontinuous films of Ag, Al, and Ni [10,23]. The conductance in these systems was shown to decay logarithmically with time after an abrupt cooldown or an electrical excitation out of equilibrium,…”
