This approach is valid when the electron-electron scattering length is sufficiently short. In a broad range of temperatures, the dissipation is dominated by heat fluxes in the electron fluid, and the resistivity is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity, $\\kappa$. This is in striking contrast with the Stokes flow, in which the resistance is independent of $\\kappa$ and proportional to the fluid viscosity. We also identify a new hydrodynamic mechanism of spin magnetoresistance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-11-12T23:04:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.Nm", "72.15.Gd", "73.23.-b" ], "keywords": [ "strongly correlated electron systems", "hydrodynamic description", "smooth disorder potential", "resistivity", "magnetoresistance" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2011, "month": "Jun", "volume": 106, "number": 25, "pages": 256804 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvL.106y6804A" } } }
