We explore an idealized theoretical model for ion transport within highly asymmetric ionic liquid mixtures. A primitive model-inspired system serves as a representative materials (such crystalline salts) which quench to form disordered, partially arrested phases. Self-consistent generalized Langevin equation theory is applied understand the connection between size ratio of charge-matched salts and their average mobility. Within this model, we identify novel glassy states where one two...
