Hydrodynamics of the Dirac fluid in graphene

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

Recent advances in materials physics have allowed us to observe hydrodynamic electron flow in multiple materials. A uniquely interesting possibility is the emergence of a quasi-relativistic plasma of electrons and holes appearing in Dirac semimetals such as graphene. I will briefly review the unique features of the hydrodynamics of the Dirac fluid, and then discuss the theroetical signatures for the Dirac fluid, and its observation in experiment.
