We study temperature effect on anomalous viscosity of Graphene Hall fluid within quantum many-vortex hydrodynamics. The commonly observed filling fractions, $ν$ in the range $0 < ν< 2$ is considered. An expression for anomalous viscosity dependent on a geometric parameter-Hall expansion coefficient, is obtained at finite temperatures. It arises from strained induced pseudo-magnetic field in addition to an anomalous term in vortex velocity, which is responsible for re-normalization of vortex-vortex interactions. We observed that both terms greatly modify the anomalous viscosity as well as an enhancement of weakly observed v fractions. Finite values of the expansion coefficient produce a constant and an infinite viscosity at varying temperatures. The infinities are identified as energy gaps and suggest temperatures at which new stable quantum hall filling fractions could be seen. This phenomenon is used to estimate energy gaps of already measured fractional quantum Hall states in Graphene.
We generalize the notion of dissipationless, topological Hall viscosity tensor to optical phonons in thin film Weyl semimetals. By using the strained Porphyrin thin film Weyl semimetal as a model example, we show how optical phonons can couple to Weyl electrons as chiral pseudo gauge fields. These chiral vector fields lead to a novel dissipationless two-rank viscosity tensor in the effective dynamics of optical phonons whose origin is the chiral anomaly. We also compute the contribution to this two rank Hall viscosity tensor due to the presence of an external magnetic field, whose origin is th…
When time-reversal symmetry is broken, the low-energy description of acoustic lattice dynamics allows for a dissipationless component of the viscosity tensor, the phonon Hall viscosity, which captures how phonon chirality grows with the wavevector. In this work, we show that, in ionic crystals, a phonon Hall viscosity contribution is produced by the Lorentz forces on moving ions. We calculate typical values of the Lorentz force contribution to the Hall viscosity using a simple square lattice toy model, and we compare it with literature estimates of the strengths of other Hall-viscosity mechani…
We study responses to metric perturbation in topological insulator models. In this paper we introduce a novel quantity, Hall viscosity to particle density ratio, which is analogous to the viscosity to entropy ratio suggested by AdS/CFT correspondence. This quantity corresponds to the filling fraction which characterizes the quantum Hall states, and hence it could be discussed in Haldane's zero-field quantum Hall system. We also consider dissipationless viscosity in the time reversal invariant quantum spin Hall system, which is related to a spin current.
Hall viscosity is a nondissipative response function describing momentum transport in two-dimensional (2D) systems with broken time-reversal symmetry. In the classical regime, Hall viscosity contributes to the viscous flow of 2D electrons in the presence of a magnetic field. We observe a pronounced, negative Hall resistivity at low magnetic field in a mesoscopic size, two-dimensional electron system, which is attributed to Hall viscosity in the inhomogeneous charge flow. Experimental results supported by a theoretical analysis confirm that the conditions for observation of Hall viscosity are c…
The Hall viscosity describes a non-dissipative response to strain in systems with broken time-reversal symmetry. We develop a new method for computing the Hall viscosity of lattice systems in strong magnetic fields based on momentum transport, which we compare to the method of momentum polarization used by Tu et al. [Phys. Rev. B 88 195412 (2013)] and Zaletel et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 236801 (2013)] for non-interacting systems. We compare the Hall viscosity of square-lattice tight-binding models in magnetic field to the continuum integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) showing agreement when the…
In a fluid subject to a magnetic field the viscous stress tensor has a dissipationless antisymmetric component controlled by the so-called Hall viscosity. We here propose an all-electrical scheme that allows a determination of the Hall viscosity of a two-dimensional electron liquid in a solid-state device.
We undertake a theoretical study of edge spin-vortex excitations in fractional quantum Hall fluid. This is done in view of quantised Euler hydrodynamics theory. The dispersions of true excitations for fractions within $0\leq ν\leq 1$ are simulated which exhibit universal similarities and differences in behaviour. The differences arise from different edge smoothness and spin (pseudo-spin) polarisations, in addition to spin-charge competition. In particular, tuning the spin-charge factor causes coherent spin flipping associated with partial and total polarisations of edge spin-vortices. This obs…

The induced motion of a magnetic vortex in a micron-sized ferromagnetic disk due to the DC current injection is studied by measuring planar Hall effect. The DC current injection is found to induce the spin torque that sweeps the vortex out of the disk at the critical current while bias magnetic field are applied. The current-induced vortex core displacement deduced from the change in planar Hall resistance is quantitatively consistent with theoretical prediction. Peak structures similar to those originated from spin wave excitations are observed in the differential planar Hall resistance curve…
In absence of time-reversal symmetry, viscous electron flow hosts a number of interesting phenomena, of which we focus here on the Hall viscosity. Taking a step beyond the hydrodynamic definition of the Hall viscosity, we derive a generalized relation between Hall viscosity and transverse electric field using a kinetic equation approach. We explore two different geometries where the Hall viscosity is accessible to measurement. For hydrodynamic flow of electrons in a narrow channel, we find that the viscosity may be measured by a local probe of the transverse electric field near the center of t…
Hall viscosity is a dissipationless transport coefficient whose value is quantized in units of the density in some topological phases and may be used as a measure of topological order. I give an overview of the Hall viscosity, its relation to Hall conductivity in Galilean invariant theories and its realization in effective theories.
We present a microscopic calculation of the energy dissipation in the core of a vortex moving in a two-dimensional or layered superconductor in the moderately clean regime. In this regime, the quasiclassical Bardeen--Stephen result remains valid in spite of the strong correlations between the energy levels. We find that the quasiclassical expression applies both in the limit of fast vortex motion (with transitions between smeared levels) and in the limit of slow vortex motion (with nearly adiabatic dynamics). This finding can be related to the similar result known for the unitary random-matrix…
We show that, for Galilean invariant quantum Hall states, the Hall viscosity appears in the electromagnetic response at finite wave numbers q. In particular, the leading q dependence of the Hall conductivity at small q receives a contribution from the Hall viscosity. The coefficient of the q^2 term in the Hall conductivity is universal in the limit of strong magnetic field.
We discuss the feasibility of quantum Hall states of vortices in trapped low-density two-dimensional Bose gases with large particle interactions. For interaction strengths larger than a critical dimensionless 2D coupling constant $g_c \approx 0.6$, upon increasing the rotation frequency, the system is shown to spatially separate into vortex lattice and melted vortex lattice (vortex liquid) phases. At a first critical frequency, the lattice melts completely, and strongly correlated vortex and particle quantum Hall liquids coexist in inner respectively outer regions of the gas cloud. Finally, at…
Quantum Hall (QH) states are predicted to display an intriguing non-dissipative stress response to a shear deformation rate, a phenomenon variously known as asymmetric or Hall viscosity, or Lorentz shear response. Just as the QH effect results from the coupling of Chern-Simons fields of the effective theory to the electromagnetic field, so also Hall viscosity is found to arise from coupling of these fields to the 'metric' of the quadratic kinetic energy. In this paper I derive new physical insights for Hall viscosity by using an extended semiclassical approach to compute the conductivity of a …
We study the dissipative and Hall viscosity of a disordered noninteracting 2D electrons, both analytically and numerically. Analytically, we employ the self-consistent Born approximation, explicitly taking into account the modification of the single-particle density of states and the elastic transport time due to the Landau quantization. The reported results interpolate smoothly between the limiting cases of weak (strong) magnetic field and strong (weak) disorder. In the regime of weak magnetic field, our results describes the quantum (de Haas-van Alphen type) oscillations of the dissipative a…
The nondissipative (Hall) viscosity is known to play an interesting role in two-dimensional (2D) topological states of matter, in the hydrodynamic regime of correlated materials, and in classical active fluids with broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS). However, generalizations of these effects to 3D have remained elusive. In this work, we address this question by studying the Hall viscoelastic response of 3D crystals. We show that for systems with tetrahedral symmetries, there exist new, intrinsically 3D Hall viscosity coefficients that cannot be obtained via a reduction to a quasi-2D system. T…
We investigate the relationship between Hall viscosity, spin density and response to geometric torsion. For the most general effective action for relativistic gapped systems, the presence of non-universal terms implies that there is no relationship between torsion response and Hall viscosity. We also consider free relativistic and non-relativistic microscopic actions and again verify the existence of analogous non-universal couplings. Explicit examples demonstrate that torsion response is unrelated to both Hall viscosity and spin density. We also argue that relativistic gapped theories must ha…
Hall viscosity is a non-dissipative response function describing momentum transport in two-dimensional systems with broken parity. It is quantized in the quantum Hall regime, and contains information about the topological order of the quantum Hall state. Hall viscosity can distinguish different quantum Hall states with identical Hall conductances, but different topological order. To date, an experimentally accessible signature of Hall viscosity is lacking. We exploit the fact that Hall viscosity contributes to charge transport at finite wavelengths, and can therefore be extracted from non-loca…
We discuss the Berry curvature calculations of the Hall viscosity for the unprojected to the lowest Landau level wave function of the Fermi-liquid-like state. We conclude, within assumptions made, that in the linear response, with small deformation of the system and in the thermodynamic limit, the Hall viscosity takes the value characteristic for the Laughlin states. We present arguments that the value is the same even for general deformations in the same limit.
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stable objects that are made with a bunch of spins tightly arranged in a smooth fashion. Their topological nature provides unusual and complex transport properties, such as the skyrmion Hall effect. Extensive Hall data have further revealed asymmetry between skyrmion and antiskyrmion Hall angles, which cannot be accounted by known mechanisms. Here, we explain this asymmetry by utilizing another universal transport coefficient called `Hall viscosity,' extensively studied in quantum Hall systems. Hall viscosity is modeled in steady-state skyrmions motion by g…

We calculate the Hall viscosity and the nonlocal (i.e., dependent on wave vector $\bm q$) Hall conductivity of "gapped graphene" (a non-topological insulator with two valleys) in the presence of a strong perpendicular magnetic field. Using the linear-response theory at zero temperature within the Dirac approximation for the Landau levels, we present analytical expressions for both valley and total Hall viscosity and conductivity up to $\bm q^2$ at all frequencies. Although the final formulas for total Hall viscosity and conductivity are similar to the ones previously obtained for gapless graph…
A new model of momentum and electric field transfer between two adjacent 2D electron systems in the Quantum Hall Effect is proposed. The drag effect is due to momentum transfer from the vortex system of one layer to the vortex system of another layer. The remarkable result of this approach is periodical change of $sign$ of the dragged electric field with difference between the layer filling factors.
For a particle confined to the two-dimensional helical surface embedded in four-dimensional (4D) Euclidean space, the effective Hamiltonian is deduced in the thin-layer quantization formalism. We find that the gauge structure of the effective dynamics is determined by torsion, which plays the role of U(1) gauge potential, and find that the topological structure of associated states is defined by orbital spin which originates from 4D space. Strikingly, the response to torsion contributes a quantum Hall effect, and the response to the deformation of torsion contributes Hall viscosity that is per…
The Hall viscosity has been proposed as a topological property of incompressible fractional quantum Hall states and can be evaluated as Berry curvature. This paper reports on the Hall viscosities of composite-fermion Fermi seas at $ν=1/m$, where $m$ is even for fermions and odd for bosons. A well-defined value for the Hall viscosity is not obtained by viewing the $1/m$ composite-fermion Fermi seas as the $n\rightarrow \infty$ limit of the Jain $ν=n/(nm\pm 1)$ states, whose Hall viscosities $(\pm n+m)\hbar ρ/4$ ($ρ$ is the two-dimensional density) approach $\pm \infty$ in the limit $n\rightarro…
We investigate the bulk hydrodynamics of the chiral vortex matter on an arbitrary closed surface, extending the ideas of [20, 41]. Placing this important example of a chiral medium onto a curved geometry reveals the geometric nature of odd viscosity. The anomalous odd viscosity of the vortex matter is associated with a special interaction of point vortices with curvature.
Chiral topological superconductors are expected to appear as intermediate states when a quantum anomalous Hall system is proximity coupled to an s-wave superconductor and the magnetization direction is reversed. In this paper we address the edge state properties of ordinary quantum Hall systems proximity coupled to s-wave superconductors, accounting explicitly for Landau quantization. We find that the appearance of topological superconducting phases with an odd number of Majorana edge modes is dependent on the structure of the system's vortex lattice. More precisely, vortex lattices containing…
We theoretically investigate the vortex spin Hall effect, i.e., a novel spin Hall effect driven by the motion of superconducting vortices, by focusing on the role of superconducting fluctuations. Within the BCS-Gor'kov microscopic approach combined with the Kubo formula, we find a strong similarity between the vortex spin Hall effect and the vortex Nernst/Ettingshausen effect. Calculated temperature dependence of the voltage signal due to the inverse vortex spin Hall effect exhibits a strong enhancement by vortex fluctuations. This result not only provides a possible explanation for a prominen…
Quantum Hall systems are recently shown to possess a quantity sensitive to the spatial geometry and topology of the system, dubbed the Hall viscosity $η_H$. Despite the extensive theoretical discussions on its properties, the question of how to measure $η_H$ still poses a challenge. In this paper, we present a general relation between Hall viscosity and susceptibility for systems with Galilean invariance. Thus, it allows for determination of $η_H$ through density response signatures. The relations are verified in the integer quantum Hall example, and is further illustrated in an effective hydr…

We analyze the coupling of elastic lattice deformations to the magnon degrees of freedom of magnon Dirac materials. For a Honeycomb ferromagnet we find that, as it happens in the case of graphene, elastic gauge fields appear coupled to the magnon pseudospinors. For deformations that induce constant pseudomagnetic fields, the spectrum around the Dirac nodes splits into pseudoLandau levels. We show that when a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is considered, a topological gap opens in the system and a Chern-Simons effective action for the elastic degrees of freedom is generated. Such a term enco…
It is demonstrated that all observed fractions at moderate Landau level fillings in the quantum Hall effect can be obtained without recourse to the phenomenological concept of composite fermions. The possibility to have the special topologically nontrivial many-electron wave functions is considered. Their group classification indicate the special values of of electron density in the ground states separated by a gap from excited energies.
Materials subjected to a magnetic field exhibit the Hall effect, a phenomenon studied and understood in fine detail. Here we report a qualitative breach of this classical behavior in electron systems with high viscosity. The viscous fluid in graphene is found to respond to non-quantizing magnetic fields by producing an electric field opposite to that generated by the classical Hall effect. The viscous contribution is large and identified by studying local voltages that arise in the vicinity of current-injecting contacts. We analyze the anomaly over a wide range of temperatures and carrier dens…
We consider the time-reversal odd dynamics of the bilayer graphene at low energies in the quantum Hall regime. A generating functional for the effective action that captures the electromagnetic response to all orders in momentum and frequency is presented and evaluated to the third order in the space-time gradient $\mathcal O(\partial^3)$. In addition, we calculate the Hall viscosity and derive an explicit relationship with the $q^2$ coefficient of the Hall conductivity. It is reminiscent of the Hoyos--Son relation in the Galilean invariant systems, which can be recovered in the limit of large…

We derive an analytic expression for the geometric Hall viscosity of non-interacting electrons in a single graphene layer in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. We show that a recently-derived formula in [C. Hoyos and D. T. Son, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 108}, 066805 (2012)], which connects the coefficient of $q^2$ in the wave vector expansion of the Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}(q)$ of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) to the Hall viscosity and the orbital diamagnetic susceptibility of that system, continues to hold for graphene -- in spite of the lack of Galilean invariance -- with…
For two-dimensional non-dissipative fluids with broken parity, we show via effective field theory methods that the infrared dynamics generically exhibit Hall viscosity--a conservative form of viscosity compatible with two-dimensional isotropy. The equality between the Hall viscosity coefficient and the ground state's intrinsic angular momentum density follows straightforwardly from their descending from the same Lagrangian term of the low-energy effective action. We show that for such fluids sound waves are not purely longitudinal, but acquire an elliptical polarization, with transverse-to-lon…
The (guiding-center) "Hall viscosity" is a fundamental tensor property of incompressible ``Hall fluids'' exhibiting the fractional quantum Hall effect; it determines the stress induced by a non-uniform electric field, and the intrinsic dipole moment on (unreconstructed) edges. It is characterized by a rational number and an intrinsic metric tensor that defines distances on an ``incompressibility lengthscale''. These properties do not require rotational invariance in the 2D plane. The sign of the guiding-center Hall viscosity distinguishes particle fluids from hole fluids, and its magnitude pro…
The longitudinal and Hall resistances have recently been measured for quantum Hall bilayers at total filling $ν=1$ in the superfluid state with interlayer pairing, both for currents flowing parallel to one another and for "counterflowing" currents in the two layers. Here I examine the contribution to these resistances from the motion of unpaired vortices in these systems, developing some possible explanations of various qualitative features of these data.
In metallic samples of small enough size and sufficiently strong momentum-conserving scattering, the viscosity of the electron gas can become the dominant process governing transport. In this regime, momentum is a long-lived quantity whose evolution is described by an emergent hydrodynamical theory. Furthermore, breaking time-reversal symmetry leads to the appearance of an odd component to the viscosity called the Hall viscosity, which has attracted considerable attention recently due to its quantized nature in gapped systems but still eludes experimental confirmation. Based on microscopic cal…
We introduce a kind of electromagnetism, which we call viscoelastic-electromagnetism, to investigate viscoelastic transport phenomena. It is shown that Cartan's formalism of general relativity is essential for viscoelastic theory, and then the corresponding electric and magnetic fields are regarded as a velocity gradient and a Burgers vector density, respectively. As an application of this formalism, the Streda formula for the Hall viscosity is obtained.
It is demonstrated that all observed fractions at moderate Landau level fillings for the quantum Hall effect can be obtained without recourse to the phenomenological concept of composite fermions. The possibility to have the special topologically nontrivial many-electron wave functions is considered. Their group classification indicates the special values of of electron density in the ground states separated by a gap from excited states. These gaps were calculated for some lattices in a simplified model.
Hydrodynamic and viscous effects in electronic liquids are at the focus of much current research. Most intriguing is perhaps the non-dissipative Hall viscosity, which, due to its symmetry-protected topological nature, can help identify complex topological orders. In this work we study the effects of viscosity in general, and Hall viscosity in particular, on the dispersion relation of edge magnetoplasmons in 2D electronic systems. Using an extension of the standard Wiener-Hopf technique we derive a general solution to the problem, accounting for the long-range Coulomb potential. Among other fea…
The breaking of parity and time-reversal symmetry in two-dimensional Fermi liquids gives rise to non-dissipative transport features characterized by the Hall viscosity. In magnetic fields, the Hall viscous force directly competes with the Lorentz force, since both mechanisms contribute to the Hall voltage. In this work, we present a channel geometry that allows us to uniquely distinguish these two contributions and derive, for the first time, their functional dependency on all external parameters. We show that the ratio of the Hall viscous to the Lorentz force contribution is negative and that…
We compute the Hall viscosity and conductivity of non-relativistic two-dimensional chiral superconductors, where fermions pair due to a short-range attractive potential, e.g. $p+\mathrm{i}p$ pairing, and interact via a long-range repulsive Coulomb force. For a logarithmic Coulomb potential, the Hall viscosity tensor contains a contribution that is singular at low momentum, which encodes corrections to pressure induced by an external shear strain. Due to this contribution, the Hall viscosity cannot be extracted from the Hall conductivity in spite of Galilean symmetry. For mixed-dimensional chir…

We discuss the contribution of magnetic Skyrmions to the Hall viscosity and propose a simple way to identify it in experiments. The topological Skyrmion charge density has a distinct signature in the electric Hall conductivity that is identified in existing experimental data. In an electrically neutral system, the Skyrmion charge density is directly related to the thermal Hall conductivity. These results are direct consequences of the field theory Ward identities, which relate various physical quantities based on symmetries and have been previously applied to quantum Hall systems.
We show that the spin quantum Hall effect in the vortex state of two-dimensional rotating superfluid He3 can be described as an adiabatic spin transport of Bloch quasiparticles. We show that the spin Hall conductivity is written by the Berry phase as well as the Chern number. The results have similarity to the adiabatic pumping of Bloch electrons and the spontaneous polarization in crystalline dielectrics.
