Stress aging in the electron glass.

A new protocol for an aging experiment is studied in the electron-glass phase of indium-oxide films. In this protocol, the sample is exposed to a non-Ohmic electric field F for a waiting time t(w) during which the system attempts to reach a steady state (rather than relax towards equilibrium). The relaxation of the excess conductance Delta G after Ohmic conditions are restored exhibits simple aging as long as F is not too large.

Aging effects in an anderson insulator

Aging, commonly observed in glasses, is a manifestation of breakdown of time-translational invariance. Here we demonstrate experimentally aging effects in the electronic system of an Anderson insulator. The aging phenomenon in the electron glass appears to be much less sensitive to temperature than in other systems. The differences in the behavior of the electron glass and a spin glass system are discussed in terms of some microscopic differences between the two systems.
