Magnetohydrodynamics In Graphene: Shear And Hall Viscosities

Viscous phenomena are the hallmark of the hydrodynamic flow exhibited by Dirac fermions in clean graphene at high enough temperatures. We report a quantitative calculation of the electronic shear and Hall viscosities in graphene based on the kinetic theory combined with the renormalization group providing a unified description at arbitrary doping levels and nonquantizing magnetic fields. At charge neutrality, the Hall viscosity vanishes, while the field-dependent shear viscosity decays from its zero-field value saturating to a nonzero value in classically strong fields. Away from charge neutrality, the field-dependent viscosity coefficients tend to agree with the semiclassical expectation.
