Lévy flights and Hydrodynamic Superdiffusion on the Dirac Cone of Graphene
ORAL
Abstract
It is shown that hydrodynamic collision processes in graphene at the neutrality point can be described in terms of a Fokker-Planck equation with a fractional derivative. This is a consequence of the fact that the phase space dynamics of electrons is governed by Lévy flights: rare large-angle scattering events interrupting the small-angle scattering. Lévy flights give rise to superdiffusive dynamics of collective excitations. Implications for transport and relaxation processes will be discussed.
