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 …

Imaging the breaking of electrostatic dams in graphene for ballistic and viscous fluids

ZJ Krebs, WA Behn, S Li, KJ Smith, K Watanabe… - Science, 2023 - science.org
The charge carriers in a material can, under special circumstances, behave as a viscous
fluid. In this work, we investigated such behavior by using scanning tunneling potentiometry …

Electronic hydrodynamics in graphene

BN Narozhny - Annals of Physics, 2019 - Elsevier
