DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/QM3/4
 /">Turbulent hydrodynamics in strongly correlated Kagome metals</a>\nby Jo
 hanna Erdmenger (University of Würzburg) as part of Quantum Matter meets 
 Maths (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nA current challenge in condensed matte
 r physics is the realization of strongly correlated\, viscous electron flu
 ids. These fluids are not amenable to the perturbative methods of Fermi li
 quid theory\, but can be described by holography\, that is\, by mapping th
 em onto a weakly curved gravitational theory via gauge/gravity duality. Th
 e canonical system considered for realizations has been graphene\, which p
 ossesses Dirac dispersions at low energies as well as significant Coulomb 
 interactions between the electrons. In this work\, we show that Kagome sys
 tems with electron fillings adjusted to the Dirac nodes of their band stru
 cture provide a much more compelling platform for realizations of viscous 
 electron fluids\, including non-linear effects such as turbulence. In part
 icular\, we find that in stoichiometric Scandium (Sc) Herbertsmithite\, th
 e fine-structure constant\, which measures the effective Coulomb interacti
 on 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 employ holography to estimate the ratio of the shear viscosity over t
 he entropy density in Sc-Herbertsmithite\, and find it about three times s
 maller than in graphene. These findings put\, for the first time\, the tur
 bulent flow regime described by holography within the reach of experiments
