Thermal resistivity and hydrodynamics of the degenerate electron fluid in antimony

Viscous fermionic flow appears in liquid helium but rarely appears in metallic solid. Here, Jaoui et al. report a T-square thermal resistivity due to momentum conserving electronic scattering in semi-metallic antimony, which is in agreement with the hydrodynamic scenario.
