Abstract

The electron-glass dynamics of Anderson-localized GeSbTe films is dramatically slowed-down following a brief infrared illumination that increases the system carrier-concentration (and thus its conductance). These results demonstrate that the dynamics exhibited by electron-glasses is more sensitive to carrier-concentration than to disorder. In turn, this seems to imply that many-body effects such as the Orthogonality Catastrophe must play a role in the sluggish dynamics observed in the intrinsic electron-glasses.
