Geometric electron optics may be implemented in solid state when transport is ballistic on the length scale of a device. Currently, this is realized mainly in 2D materials characterized by circular Fermi surfaces. Here we demonstrate that…

We investigate the effect of Coulomb drag resistance in a bilayer system of strongly correlated electron liquids magnetized by an in-plane field employing the framework of hydrodynamic theory. We identify a mechanism for drag…
