▎ 摘  要

Electrons behave like a classical fluid with a momentum distribution function that varies slowly in space and time when the quantum-mechanical carrier-carrier scattering dominates over all other scattering processes. Recent experiments in monolayer and bilayer graphene have reported signatures of such hydrodynamic electron behavior in ultraclean devices. In this theoretical work, starting from a microscopic treatment of electron-electron, electron-phonon, and electron-impurity interactions within the random phase approximation, we demonstrate that monolayer and bilayer graphene both host two different hydrodynamic regimes. We predict that the hydrodynamic window in bilayer graphene is stronger than in monolayer graphene, and has a characteristic "v shape" as opposed to a "lung shape." Finally, we collapse experimental data onto a universal disorder-limited theory, demonstrating that the observed violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law in monolayers occurs in a regime dominated by impurity-induced electron-hole puddles.
