Two-dimensional hydrodynamic electron flow through periodic and random potentials
arXiv:2309.15917 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.155145
Abstract
We study the hydrodynamic flow of electrons through a smooth potential energy landscape in two dimensions, for which the electrical current is concentrated along thin channels that follow percolating equipotential contours. The width of these channels, and hence the electrical resistance, is determined by a competition between viscous and thermoelectric forces. For the case of periodic (moiré) potentials, we find that hydrodynamic flow provides a new route to linear-in- resistivity. We calculate the associated prefactors for potentials with and symmetry. On the other hand, for a random potential the resistivity has qualitatively different behavior because equipotential paths become increasingly tortuous as their width is reduced. This effect leads to a resistivity that grows with temperature as .
