I will first review why it is important to disentangle the effects of electronic interactions and electron-lattice interactions in unconventional metals. I will then describe an observable process that depends crucially on electron-lattice interactions: the transfer of energy from hot electrons to a cooler lattice. Textbook discussion of this effect build upon weakly interacting electronic...
We study hydrodynamic electron transport in Corbino and Hall bar graphene devices. In Corbino geometry due to the irrotational character of the flow, the forces exerted on the electron liquid are expelled from the bulk. We show that in the absence of Galilean invariance, force expulsion produces qualitatively new features in thermoelectric transport: (i) it results in drops of both voltage and...
A vison is an excitation of the Kitaev spin liquid which carries a $\mathbb Z_2$ gauge flux. While immobile in the pure Kitaev model, it becomes a dynamical degree of freedom in the presence of perturbations. We [1] study an isolated vison in the isotropic Kitaev model perturbed by a small external magnetic field h, an offdiagonal exchange interactions Γ and a Heisenberg coupling J. In the...
The realization of correlated insulators and superconductivity in twisted van der Waals heterostructures has brought forth twisting as a new control knob in condensed matter laboratories. In this talk we will show how twisting can be used to control the low energy physics of bilayers of nodal superconductors. Focusing in the vicinity of the Dirac nodes in their Bogolioubov de Gennes (BdG)...
