Non-local hydrodynamic transport and collective excitations in Dirac fluids

Abstract

We study the response of a Dirac fluid to electric fields and thermal gradients at finite wave-numbers and frequencies in the hydrodynamic regime. We find that non-local transport in the hydrodynamic regime is governed by infinite set of kinetic modes that describe non-collinear scattering events in different angular harmonic channels. The scattering rates of these modes ${\tau }_m^{-1}$ increase as $\Vert m\Vert$, where $m$ labels the angular harmonics. In an earlier publication, we pointed out that this dependence leads to anomalous, Lévy-flight-like phase space diffusion (Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 195302 (2019)). Here, we show how this surprisingly simple, non-analytic dependence allows us to obtain exact expressions for the non-local charge and electronic thermal conductivities. The peculiar dependence of the scattering rates on $m$ also leads to a non-trivial structure of collective excitations: Besides the well known plasmon, second sound and diffusive modes, we find non-degenerate damped modes corresponding to excitations of higher angular harmonics. We use these results to investigate the transport of a Dirac fluid through Poiseuille-type geometries of different widths, and to study the response to surface acoustic waves in graphene-piezoelectric devices.
