Spin mechanism of drag resistance in strongly correlated electron liquids

Abstract

We investigate the effect of Coulomb drag resistance in a bilayer system of strongly correlated electron liquids magnetized by an in-plane field employing the framework of hydrodynamic theory. We identify a mechanism for drag magnetoresistance, which physically arises from the spin diffusion driven by fluctuations of the spin currents within a partially spin-polarized fluid. This effect is further enhanced by acoustic and optic plasmon resonances within the bilayer, where hydrodynamic plasmons are driven by fluctuating viscous stresses. We express the drag magnetoresistivity in terms of the intrinsic dissipative coefficients and basic thermodynamic properties of the electron fluid. Our results are derived nonperturbatively in interaction strength and do not rely on assuming Fermi-liquid behavior of the electron liquid, and applicable also in the regimes of semiquantum and highly correlated classical fluids.
