Shear viscosity as a probe of nodal topology
Stockholm University, Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (Nordita).

Abstract [en]

Electronic materials can sustain a variety of unusual, but symmetry protected, touchings of valence and conduction bands, each of which is identified by a distinct topological invariant. Well-known examples include linearly dispersing pseudorelativistic fermions in monolayer graphene, Weyl and nodal-loop semimetals, biquadratic (bicubic) band touching in bilayer (trilayer) graphene, as well as mixed dispersions in multi-Weyl systems. Here, we show that depending on the underlying band curvature, the shear viscosity in the collisionless regime displays a unique power-law scaling with frequency at low temperatures, bearing the signatures of the band topology, which are distinct from the ones when the system resides at the brink of a topological phase transition into a band insulator. Therefore, besides the density of states (governing specific heat, compressibility) and dynamic conductivity, shear viscosity can be instrumental to pin nodal topology in electronic materials.
