Wonders of viscous electronics

Quantum critical strongly correlated systems feature universal collision dominated collective transport Viscous electronics is an emerging field dealing with systems in which strongly interacting electrons flow like a fluid Such flows have some remarkable properties never seen before I shall describe recent theoretical and experimental works devoted in particular to a striking macroscopic DC transport behavior: viscous friction can drive electric current against an applied field resulting in a negative resistance recently measured experimentally in graphene I shall also describe conductance exceeding the fundamental quantum ballistic limit field theoretical anomalies and other wonders of viscous electronics Strongly interacting electron hole plasma in high mobility graphene affords a unique link between quantum critical electron transport and the wealth of fluid mechanics phenomena Refreshments are served at 15:15
