Charge transport and hydrodynamics in materials

G Varnavides, A Yacoby, C Felser… - Nature Reviews Materials, 2023 - nature.com
As high-quality single-crystal materials used in electronic devices approach the microscale
and nanoscale, charge-transport phenomena in these devices result in inhomogeneous …

Hydrodynamic approach to two-dimensional electron systems

BN Narozhny - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2022 - Springer
The last few years have seen an explosion of interest in hydrodynamic effects in interacting
electron systems in ultra-pure materials. One such material, graphene, is not only an …

Direct observation of vortices in an electron fluid

A Aharon-Steinberg, T Völkl, A Kaplan, AK Pariari… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Vortices are the hallmarks of hydrodynamic flow. Strongly interacting electrons in ultrapure
conductors can display signatures of hydrodynamic behaviour, including negative non-local …

MJH Ku, TX Zhou, Q Li, YJ Shin, JK Shi, C Burch… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
The electron–hole plasma in charge-neutral graphene is predicted to realize a quantum
critical system in which electrical transport features a universal hydrodynamic description …

Visualizing Poiseuille flow of hydrodynamic electrons

JA Sulpizio, L Ella, A Rozen, J Birkbeck, DJ Perello… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Hydrodynamics, which generally describes the flow of a fluid, is expected to hold even for
fundamental particles such as electrons when inter-particle interactions dominate. Although …

Imaging hydrodynamic electrons flowing without Landauer–Sharvin resistance

C Kumar, J Birkbeck, JA Sulpizio, D Perello… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Electrical resistance usually originates from lattice imperfections. However, even a perfect
lattice has a fundamental resistance limit, given by the Landauer conductance caused by a …

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 …

Electron hydrodynamics in anisotropic materials

G Varnavides, AS Jermyn, P Anikeeva, C Felser… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Rotational invariance strongly constrains the viscosity tensor of classical fluids. When this
symmetry is broken in anisotropic materials a wide array of novel phenomena become …

Electronic hydrodynamics in graphene

BN Narozhny - Annals of Physics, 2019 - Elsevier
In this paper I report a pedagogical derivation of the unconventional electronic
hydrodynamics in graphene on the basis of the kinetic theory. While formally valid in the …

Transport properties of strongly coupled electron–phonon liquids

A Levchenko, J Schmalian - Annals of Physics, 2020 - Elsevier
In this work we consider the hydrodynamic behavior of a coupled electron–phonon fluid,
focusing on electronic transport under the conditions of strong phonon drag. This regime …
