Transport properties of Dirac materials (A09)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 258499086

We plan to investigate theoretically the transport properties of Dirac fermions in presence of external fields, inhomogeneities, and physical boundaries of the system. We are particularly interested in crossover regimes between different scattering mechanisms. A variety of methods (Boltzmann equation, kinetic equation, Landauer transport theory, hydrodynamics) will be combined to be able to connect different transport regimes.
