Lévy Flights and Hydrodynamic Superdiffusion on the Dirac Cone of Graphene
2019
: We show that the hydrodynamic collision processes of graphene electrons at the neutrality point can be described in terms of a Fokker-Planck equation with a fractional derivative, corresponding to a Levy flight in momentum space. Thus, electron-electron collisions give rise to frequent small-angle scattering processes that are interrupted by rare large-angle events. The latter give rise to superdiffusive dynamics of collective excitations. We argue that such superdiffusive dynamics is of more general importance to the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum-critical systems.
