The electron-phonon interaction is in many ways a solid state equivalent of quantum electrodynamics. Being always present, the e-p coupling is responsible for the intrinsic resistance of metals at finite temperatures, making it one of the most fundamental interactions present in solids. In typical metals, different regimes of e-p scattering are separated by a characteristic phonon energy scale—the Debye temperature. However, in metals harboring very small Fermi surfaces a new scale emerges—the Bloch-Grüneisen temperature. This is a temperature at which the average phonon momentum becomes comparable to the Fermi momentum of the electrons. Here we report sub-Kelvin transport and sound propagation experiments on the Dirac semimetal ZrTe5. The combination of the simple band structure with only a single small Fermi surface sheet allowed us to directly observe the Bloch-Grüneisen temperature and its consequences on electronic transport of a 3D metal in the limit where the small size of the Fermi surface leads to effective restoration of translational invariance of free space. Our results indicate that on entering this hydrodynamic transport regime, the viscosity of the Dirac electronic liquid undergoes an anomalous increase beyond the theoretically predicted T5 temperature dependence. Extension of our measurements to strong magnetic fields reveal that, despite the dimensional reduction of the electronic band structure, the electronic liquid retains characteristics of the zero-field hydrodynamic regime up to the quantum limit. This is vividly reflected by an anomalous suppression of the amplitude of quantum oscillations seen in the Shubnikov-de Haas effect.

狄拉克半金属 ZrTe5 中 Bloch-Grüneisen 温度的量子振荡特征



电子-声子相互作用在很多方面都是量子电动力学的固态等价物。 EP 耦合始终存在,它决定了金属在有限温度下的固有电阻,使其成为固体中存在的最基本的相互作用之一。在典型金属中,不同的 ep 散射范围由特征声子能级(德拜温度)分隔。然而,在具有非常小的费米表面的金属中,出现了一个新的尺度——布洛赫-格吕内森温度。在这个温度下,平均声子动量与电子的费米动量相当。在这里,我们报告了狄拉克半金属的亚开尔文输运和声音传播实验 ZrTe5 。简单的能带结构与单个小费米表面片的结合使我们能够在小尺寸费米表面导致有效恢复的极限内直接观察布洛赫-格吕内森温度及其对 3D 金属电子传输的影响自由空间的平移不变性。我们的结果表明,在进入这种流体动力输运状态时,狄拉克电子液体的粘度发生异常增加,超出了理论预测 T5 温度依赖性。将我们的测量扩展到强磁场表明,尽管电子能带结构的尺寸减小了,但电子液体保留了零场流体动力学状态直至量子极限的特征。舒布尼科夫-德哈斯效应中量子振荡振幅的异常抑制生动地反映了这一点。
