Strong interactions in many-body quantum systems complicate the interpretation of charge transport in such materials. To shed light on this problem, we study transport in a clean quantum system: ultracold 6 Li in a 2D optical lattice, a testing ground for strong interaction physics in the Fermi-Hubbard model. We determine the diffusion constant by measuring the relaxation of an imposed density modulation and modeling its decay hydrodynamically. The diffusion constant is converted to a resistivity using the Nernst-Einstein relation. That resistivity exhibits a linear temperature dependence and shows no evidence of saturation, two characteristic signatures of a bad metal. The techniques we develop here may be applied to measurements of other transport quantities, including the optical conductivity and thermopower. arXiv:1802.09456v2 [cond-mat.quant-gas]
l 1−Im[Σ(iω 0 )] ll /ω 0 with ω 0 the first Matsubara frequency, is related to the effective mass enhancement via m * l /m LDA l = Z −1 l . We find Z −1 l ∼ 5.3, 3.8, 3.8 for arXiv:1808.02527v1 [cond-mat.supr-con]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
