  • Transport Phenomena in Strongly Correlated Fermi Liquids

    Series Book 251 - Springer Tracts in Modern Physics
    In conventional metals, various transport coefficients are scaled according to the quasiparticle relaxation time, \tau, which implies that the relaxation time approximation (RTA) holds well. However, such a simple scaling does not hold in many strongly correlated electron systems, reflecting their unique electronic states. The most famous example would be cuprate high-Tc superconductors (HTSCs), ... Read more
