Higher-than-ballistic conduction of viscous electron flows

Higher-than-ballistic conduction of viscous electron flows

Significance Free electron flows through constrictions in metals are often regarded as an ultimate high-conduction charge transfer. We predict that electron fluids can flow with a resistance that is much smaller than the fundamental quantum mechanical ballistic limit for nanoscale electronics. The “superballistic” low-dissipation transport is particularly striking for the …
