Abstract
We report the first observation of layered structures in the computer-simulated Coulomb glasses produced by rapid quenching of one-component plasmas in the absence of an external force field. Degrees of polycrystalline nucleation and the nature of local order developed in the glasses are elucidated through analyses of the intralayer and interlayer particle correlations and by means of the Laue patterns formed by scattering of plane waves. Stages of evolution for the glass transition in Coulombic systems are conjectured.Keywords
