Shear viscosity in a two-dimensional Fermi gas — •Carolin Küppersbusch¹, Tilman Enss², and Lars Fritz¹ — ¹Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität zu Köln — ²Physik Department, Technische Universität München

We consider a two-component, two-dimensional, interacting Fermi gas which is experimentally realized in ultra cold atomic systems. An experimentally accessible quantity that has received a lot of interest recently as a measure of the interaction strength is the shear viscosity. This quantity describes the resistance of the system towards establishing a flow gradient and is lowest for strongly interacting systems. Using a Boltzmann equation we calculate the viscosity in all temperature and interaction ranges. In contrast to earlier studies we include medium scattering which lowers the viscosity by a factor of about three.
