Spin-glass charge ordering in ionic liquids

Ionic liquids form intricate nanostructures, both in the bulk and near charged surfaces. We show that given the ionic positions from molecular simulations, the ionic charges minimize a "spin-glass" Hamiltonian for nearest-neighbor interactions with remarkable accuracy, for both room-temper...
