Viscometry of electron fluids from symmetry

CQ Cook, A Lucas - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
When electrons flow as a viscous fluid in anisotropic metals, the reduced symmetry can lead
to exotic viscosity tensors with many additional, nonstandard components. We present a …

Kinetic theory of the nonlocal electrodynamic response in anisotropic metals: Skin effect in 2D systems

D Valentinis, G Baker, DA Bonn, J Schmalian - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
