Hydrodynamic transport and violation of the viscosity-to-entropy ratio bound in nodal-line semimetals
arXiv:2009.01271 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.033003
Abstract
The ratio between the shear viscosity and the entropy is considered a universal measure of the strength of interactions in quantum systems. This quantity was conjectured to have a universal lower bound , which indicates a very strongly correlated quantum fluid. By solving the quantum kinetic theory for a nodal-line semimetal in the hydrodynamic regime, we show that violates the universal lower bound, scaling towards zero with decreasing temperature in the perturbative limit. We find that the hydrodynamic scattering time between collisions is nearly temperature independent, up to logarithmic scaling corrections, and can be extremely short for large nodal lines, near the Mott-Ragel-Ioffe limit. Our finding suggests that nodal-line semimetals can be very strongly correlated quantum systems.
