To account for the anomalous/spin Hall conductivities and spin-orbit torque in the zeroth order of electron scattering time in strongly spin-orbit coupled systems, the Boltzmann transport theory in the case of weak disorder-potentials has…
The criterion for the maximum incoherent conductivity $\sigma_{c,max}$ in the anisotropic system is shown to be $\sigma_{c,max} \sigma_{ab}=C (e^2/h)^2 n_{2D}$, where $n_{2D}$ is the two-dimensional electron density, and $C$ is a numerical…

Strange metals exhibit a variety of anomalous magnetotransport properties, the most striking of which is a resistivity that increases linearly with magnetic field $B$ over a broad temperature and field range. The ubiquity of this behavior…

The anomalous Hall effect in a multiband tight-binding model is numerically studied taking into account both elastic scattering by disorder and inelastic scattering by the electron-phonon interaction. The Hall conductivity is obtained as a…
The generalised Boltzmann equation which treats the combined localised and delocalised nature of transport present in certain materials is extended to accommodate time-dependent fields. In particular, AC fields are shown to be a means to…

In an incoherent metal, transport is controlled by the collective diffusion of energy and charge rather than by quasiparticle or momentum relaxation. We explore the possibility of a universal bound $D \gtrsim \hbar v_F^2/(k_B T)$ on the…
