Electron Hydrodynamics in Crystalline Solids: Microscopic Origins, Mesoscopic Size Effects, and Macroscopic Observables George Varnavides (Zoom link available on request) Abstract: Despite the continued scaling down of transistors since the invention of the integrated circuit over seventy years ago, recent trends have deviated from Moore's predictions, due to fundamental physical limitations including heat dissipation. With [...]
