The variation in the quasiparticle weight $Z$ on moving around the fermi surface in correlated metals is studied theoretically. Our primary example is a heavy Fermi liquid treated within the standard hybridization mean field theory. The most dramatic variation in the quasiparticle weight happens in situations where the hybridization vanishes along certain directions in momentum space. Such a hybridization node is demonstrated for a simplified model of a Cerium-based cubic heavy electron metal. We show that the quasiparticle weight varies from almost unity in some directions, to values approaching zero in others. This is accompanied by a similar variation in the quasiparticle effective mass. Some consequences of such hybridization nodes and the associated angle dependence are explored. Comparisons to somewhat similar phenomena in the normal metallic state of the cuprate materials are discussed. A phenomenological picture of the pseudogap state in the cuprates with a large Fermi surface with a severely anisotropic spectral weight is explored.

A current challenge in condensed matter physics is the realization of strongly correlated, viscous electron fluids. These fluids are not amenable to the perturbative methods of Fermi liquid theory, but can be described by holography, that is, by mapp ing them onto a weakly curved gravitational theory via gauge/gravity duality. The canonical system considered for realizations has been graphene, which possesses Dirac dispersions at low energies as well as significant Coulomb interactions between the electrons. In this work, we show that Kagome systems with electron fillings adjusted to the Dirac nodes of their band structure provide a much more compelling platform for realizations of viscous electron fluids, including non-linear effects such as turbulence. In particular, we find that in stoichiometric Scandium (Sc) Herbertsmithite, the fine-structure constant, which measures the effective Coulomb interaction and hence reflects the strength of the correlations, is enhanced by a factor of about 3.2 as compared to graphene, due to orbital hybridization. We employ holography to estimate the ratio of the shear viscosity over the entropy density in Sc-Herbertsmithite, and find it about three times smaller than in graphene. These findings put, for the first time, the turbulent flow regime described by holography within the reach of experiments.
We present a new framework for computing low frequency transport properties of strongly correlated, ergodic systems. Our main assumption is that, when a thermalizing diffusive system is driven at frequency $omega$, domains of size $xi simsqrt{D/omega }$ can be considered as internally thermal, but weakly coupled with each other. We calculate the transport coefficients to lowest order in the coupling, assuming incoherent transport between such domains. Our framework naturally captures the sub-leading non analytic corrections to the transport coefficients, known as hydrodynamic long time tails. In addition, it allows us to obtain a generalized relation between charge and thermal transport coefficients, in the spirit of the Wiedemann-Franz law. We verify our results, which satisfy several non-trivial consistency checks, via exact diagonalization studies on the one-dimensional extended Fermi-Hubbard model.
We study the influence of inelastic electron-electron scattering on the temperature variation of the Seebeck coefficient in the normal phase of quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductors. The theory is based on the numerical solution of the semi-c lassical Boltzmann equation for which the collision integral equation is solved with the aid of the electronic umklapp scattering vertex calculated by the renormalization group method. We show that the one-loop renormalization group flow of momentum and temperature dependent umklapp scattering, in the presence of nesting alterations of the Fermi surface, introduce electron-hole asymmetry in the energy dependence of the anisotropic scattering time. This is responsible for the enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient with respect to the band $T$-linear prediction and even its sign reversal around the quantum critical point of the phase diagram, namely where the interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity along with the strength of spin fluctuations are the strongest. Comparison of the results with available data on low dimensional organic superconductors is presented and critically discussed.

An exact formula for the temperature dependent Hall number of metals is derived. It is valid for non-relativistic fermions or bosons, with arbitrary potential and interaction. This DC transport coefficient is proven to (remarkably) depend solely on e quilibrium susceptibilities, which are more amenable to numerical algorithms than the conductivity. An application to strongly correlated phases is demonstrated by calculating the Hall sign in the vicinity of Mott phases of lattice bosons.
To fully capitalize on the potential and versatility of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), it is essential to develop the capability to interpret different RIXS contributions through calculations, including the dependence on momentum transfe r, from first-principles for correlated materials. Toward that objective, we present new methodology for calculating the full RIXS response of a correlated metal in an unbiased fashion. Through comparison of measurements and calculations that tune the incident photon energy over a wide portion of the Fe L$_3$ absorption resonance of the example material BaFe$_2$As$_2$, we show that the RIXS response in BaFe$_2$As$_2$ is dominated by the direct channel contribution, including the Raman-like response below threshold, which we explain as a consequence of the finite core-hole lifetime broadening. Calculations are initially performed within the first-principles Bethe-Salpeter framework, which we then significantly improve by convolution with an effective spectral function for the intermediate-state excitation. We construct this spectral function, also from first-principles, by employing the cumulant expansion of the Greens function and performing a real-time time dependent density functional theory calculation of the response of the electronic system to the perturbation of the intermediate-state excitation. Importantly, this allows us to evaluate the indirect RIXS response from first-principles, accounting for the full periodicity of the crystal structure and with dependence on the momentum transfer.
