Hydrodynamics is a new paradigm of electron transport in high-mobility devices, where frequent electron collisions give rise to a collective electron flow profile. However, conventional descriptions of these flows, which are based on the fluid equations for a classical gas extended to include impurity scattering, do not account for the distinct collisional relaxation in quantum-mechanical systems. In particular, by dint of Pauli blocking even modes of the distribution function relax over significantly shorter length scales than odd modes (dubbed the ``tomographic'' effect). We establish an analytical description of tomographic electron flow in a channel, and find four new distinguishing features: (i) Non-equilibrium effects from the boundaries penetrate significantly deeper into the flow domain; (ii) an additional velocity slip condition leads to a significant increase in the channel conductance; (iii) bulk rarefaction corrections decrease the curvature of the velocity profile in the channel center; and (iv) all these anomalous transport effects are rapidly suppressed with magnetic fields. The latter effect leads to a non-monotonic magneto-conductance, which can be used to measure both the even- and odd-mode mean free paths. Our asymptotic results unveil the underlying physics of tomographic flows and provide an alternative to numerical solutions of the Fermi-liquid equations.

  1. Magnetotransport of tomographic electrons in a Corbino disk

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Tomographic boundary layers in a Corbino disk enhance the quadratic magnetoresistance coefficient via curvature-dependent slip and superballistic electrode conductance, yielding three B-field regimes with anomalous T/...

  2. Complete kinematic null for local kinetic dissipation in a sixfold-driven electron fluid

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A sixfold D12 drive creates a symmetry-forced point where current and its full gradient vanish, so local hydrodynamic heating is absent and an m=3 kinetic mode becomes the leading observable.

  3. Tomographic collective modes in a magnetic field

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-03 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    At a critical magnetic field of order ω_c/γ_o ~ O(1), one of two zero-field tomographic diffusive collective modes disappears; which one survives depends on the Landau parameter F1.

  4. Magnetic field suppression of tomographic electron transport

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A small magnetic field suppresses tomographic electron transport at a field scale set by the odd-parity mean free path, much below the scale for hydrodynamic suppression.

  5. Tomographic flow regime vs even-odd effect for the magnetotransport in the Corbino geometry

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a Corbino disk, long-lived odd angular harmonics make the resistance sensitivity to B-squared peak at small magnetic fields, strongest near the tomographic crossover.
