Electron Hydrodynamics in Crystalline Solids: Microscopic Origins, Mesoscopic Size Effects, and Macroscopic Observables

Despite the continued scaling down of transistors since the invention of the integrated circuit over seventy years ago, recent trends have deviated from Moore’s predictions, due to fundamental physical limitations including heat dissipation. With data centres already using an estimated 200 terawatt...
