Abstract

Experimental investigation of hydrodynamics in electron fluids is a highly topical research area that emerged during the last few years. A recent measurement of the optical conductivity in graphene [P. Gallagher et.al, Science 364, 158 (2019)] offers a possibility of experimental determination of microscopic time scales describing scattering processes in the electronic fluid. In this paper, I report a theoretical calculation of the optical conductivity in graphene at arbitrary doping levels, within the whole "hydrodynamic" temperature range, and for arbitrary, non-quantizing magnetic fields. The obtained results are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
