Vitrification in colloidal systems typically occurs at high densities driven by sharply varying, short-ranged interactions. The possibility of glassy behavior arising from smoothly varying, long-ranged particle interactions has received relatively little attention. Here we investigate the behavior of screened charged particles, and explicitly demonstrate that these systems exhibit glassy properties in the regime of low temperature and low density. Properties close to this low density (Wigner) glass transition share many features with their hard-sphere counterparts, but differ in quantitative aspects that may be accounted for via microscopic theoretical considerations.
