Evidence for "fragile" glass-forming behavior in the relaxation of Coulomb frustrated three-dimensional systems.
We show by means of a Monte Carlo simulation study that three-dimensional models with long-range frustration display the generic phenomena seen in fragile glass-forming liquids. Due to their properties (absence of quenched disorder, physical motivation in terms of structural frustration, and tunable fragility), these systems appear as promising minimal theoretical models for describing the glass transition of supercooled liquids.
