Universal superdiffusive modes in charged two dimensional liquids

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2021-06-16 v3

Abstract

Using a hydrodynamic approach, we show that charge diffusion in two dimensional Coulomb interacting liquids with broken momentum conservation is intrinsically anomalous. The charge relaxation is governed by an overdamped, superdiffusive plasmon mode. We demonstrate that the diffusing particles follow L\'evy flight trajectories, and study the hydrodynamic collective modes under the influence of magnetic fields. The latter are shown to slow down the superdiffusive process. The results are argued to be relevant to electron liquids in solids, as well as plasmas.
