CMP Seminar: Alexey Levchenko: "Hydrodynamics of Dirac Fluids"

When: Thursday, November 21, 2024
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT

Where: Technological Institute, F160, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60208 map it

Audience: Faculty/Staff - Student - Post Docs/Docs - Graduate Students

Contact: Joan West   (847) 491-3645

Group: Physics and Astronomy Condensed Matter Physics Seminars

Category: Academic

Description:

In this talk, I will review the evolution of ideas  surrounding the hydrodynamic behavior of electron liquids in solids and the pursuit of their experimental verification. The most recent  developments focus on Dirac fluids, particularly as realized in monolayer graphene devices. I will present new results on observed transport effects and discuss their theoretical interpretation. I will conclude with open questions in electron hydrodynamics within the context of topological bands.
