Non-Fourier phonon heat conduction at the microscale and nanoscale

G Chen - Nature Reviews Physics, 2021 - nature.com
The description of phonon heat conduction has typically been based on Fourier diffusion
theory. However, over the past three decades, a host of interesting phonon transport …

Hydrodynamics of electrons in graphene

A Lucas, KC Fong - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Generic interacting many-body quantum systems are believed to behave as classical fluids

Hydrodynamic electronic transport

L Fritz, T Scaffidi - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2024 - annualreviews.org
The “flow” of electric currents and heat in standard metals is diffusive with electronic motion
randomized by impurities. However, for ultraclean metals, electrons can flow like water with …

Ultrahigh electrical conductivity of graphene embedded in metals

M Cao, DB Xiong, L Yang, S Li, Y Xie… - Advanced Functional …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
