Dissipative and Hall viscosity of a disordered 2D electron gas

Abstract

We study the dissipative and Hall viscosity of a disordered noninteracting 2D electrons, both analytically and numerically. Analytically, we employ the self-consistent Born approximation, explicitly taking into account the modification of the single-particle density of states and the elastic transport time due to the Landau quantization. The reported results interpolate smoothly between the limiting cases of weak (strong) magnetic field and strong (weak) disorder. In the regime of weak magnetic field, our results describes the quantum (de Haas-van Alphen type) oscillations of the dissipative and Hall viscosity. For strong magnetic field, we computed the dependence of the dissipative and Hall viscosity on disorder broadening of a Landau level. In particular, for the Hall viscosity the effect of the disorder broadening is weak. This theoretical conclusion is in agreement with our numerical results for a few lowest Landau levels, which show that Hall viscosity is robust to disorder.
