DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/QM3/4/">Turb
 ulent hydrodynamics in strongly correlated Kagome metals</a>\nby Johanna E
 rdmenger (University of Würzburg) as part of Quantum Matter meets Maths (
 IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nA current challenge in condensed matter physi
 cs is the realization of strongly correlated\, viscous electron fluids. Th
 ese fluids are not amenable to the perturbative methods of Fermi liquid th
 eory\, but can be described by holography\, that is\, by mapping them onto
  a weakly curved gravitational theory via gauge/gravity duality. The canon
 ical system considered for realizations has been graphene\, which possesse
 s Dirac dispersions at low energies as well as significant Coulomb interac
 tions between the electrons. In this work\, we show that Kagome systems wi
 th electron fillings adjusted to the Dirac nodes of their band structure p
 rovide a much more compelling platform for realizations of viscous electro
 n 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 em
 ploy holography to estimate the ratio of the shear viscosity over the entr
 opy 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.\n
