We study the influence of electron-electron interactions on the electronic properties of disordered materials. In particular, we consider the insulating side of a metal-insulator transition where screening breaks down and the electron-electron interaction remains long-ranged. The investigations are based on the quantum Coulomb glass, a generalization of the classical Coulomb glass model of disordered insulators. The quantum Coulomb glass is studied by decoupling the Coulomb interaction by means of a Hartree-Fock approximation and exactly diagonalizing the remaining localization problem. We investigate the behavior of the Coulomb gap in the density of states when approaching the metal-insulator transition and study the influence of the interaction on the localization of the electrons. We find that the interaction leads to an enhancement of localization at the Fermi level.
