The one-particle density of states (1P-DOS) in a system with localized electron states vanishes at the Fermi level due to the Coulomb interaction between electrons. Derivation of the Coulomb gap uses stability criteria of the ground state.…

Electron tunneling experiments are used to probe Coulomb correlation effects in the single-particle density-of-states (DOS) of boron-doped silicon crystals near the critical density of the metal-insulator transition (MIT). At low energies,…

In granular superconductors, individual grains can contain bound Cooper pairs while the system as a whole is strongly insulating. In such cases the conductivity is determined by electron hopping between localized states in individual…

We consider the effect of Coulomb interactions on the average density of states (DOS) of disordered low-dimensional metals for temperatures T and frequencies omega smaller than the inverse elastic life-time. Using the fact that long-range…

The density of states of one-dimensional disordered electron systems with long range Coulomb interaction is studied in the weak pinning limit. The density of states is found to follow a power law with an exponent determined by localization…

We calculate numerically the spectrum of disordered electrons in the lowest Landau level at filling factor 1/5 using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation for systems containing up to 400 flux quanta. Special attention is paid to…

We investigate the effect of Coulomb interactions on the tunneling density of states (DOS) of granular metallic systems at the onset of Coulomb blockade regime in two and three dimensions. Using the renormalization group technique we derive…

Electron tunneling measurements of the density of states (DOS) in ultra-thin Be films reveal that a correlation gap mediates their insulating behavior. In films with sheet resistance $R<5000\Omega$ the correlation singularity appears as the…

We study the single-particle density of states of one-dimensional and two-dimensional quantum disordered systems with long-range interactions. We consider a $1/\sqrt{r}$ interaction in one dimension and a Coulomb interaction in two…

The conductivity of a granular metal or an array of quantum dots usually has the temperature dependence associated with variable range hopping within the soft Coulomb gap of density of states. This is difficult to explain because neutral…

We establish the connection between the presence of a glass phase and the appearance of a Coulomb gap in disordered materials with strongly interacting electrons. Treating multiparticle correlations in a systematic way, we show that in the…

We investigate the density of states (DOS) near the Fermi energy of one-dimensional spin-polarized electron systems in the quantum regime where the localization length is comparable to or larger than the inter-particle distance. The Wigner…

We investigate the lattice Coulomb glass model in three dimensions via Monte Carlo simulations. No evidence for an equilibrium glass phase is found down to very low temperatures, although the correlation length increases rapidly near T=0. A…

We investigate effects of Coulomb interaction and hopping transport in the insulator phase of granular metals and quantum dot arrays. We consider a spatially periodic as well as an irregular array, including disorder in a form of a random…

Motivated by evidence of local electron-electron attraction in experiments on disordered insulating films, we propose a new two-component Coulomb glass model that combines strong disorder and long-range Coulomb repulsion with the additional…

We study the density of states (DOS) in band gaps of ideal and disordered three-dimensional photonic crystals of finite size. The ideal crystal is a diamond lattice of resonant point scatterers (atoms) whereas the disordered one is obtained…

We study the consequences of Coulomb interactions on a system undergoing a putative first order phase transition. In two dimensions (2D), near the critical density, the system is universally unstable to the formation of new intermediate…

We use a mean-field (Hartree-like) approach to study the conductance of a strongly localized electron system in two dimensions. We find a crossover between a regime where Coulomb interactions modify the conductance significantly to a regime…

We employ Monte Carlo simulations to study the relaxation properties of the two-dimensional Coulomb glass in disordered semiconductors and the three-dimensional Bose glass in type-II superconductors in the presence of extended linear…

We consider the combined influence of disorder, electron-electron interactions and quantum hopping on the properties of electronic systems in a localized phase, approaching an insulator-metal transition. The generic models in this regime…
