Hydrodynamic Regimes of Electron Transport — •Andrew Mackenzie — Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Nöthnitzerstr 40, Dresden

In this talk I will discuss recent experiments showing that in some ultra-pure metals, it is possible to reach a regime of transport in which the viscosity of the electronic fluid plays a significant role in determining its flow. The conditions for this to happen are rather stringent, but there is some prospect of achieving them in a broader range of materials than those so far studied, so I will also try to give a sense of the future directions that the field might take.
