Thermoelectric effect on diffusion in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

Abstract

We study charge and heat transport in the square lattice Hubbard model at strong coupling using the finite-temperature Lanczos method. We construct the diffusion matrix and estimate the effect of thermoelectric terms on diffusive and hydrodynamic time evolution. The thermoelectric terms prevent the interpretation of the diffusion in terms of a single time scale. We discuss our results in relation to cold-atom experiments and measurements of heat conductivity based on the measurements of heat diffusion.
