Drude-Schwarzschild Metric and the Electrical Conductivity of Metals
نویسنده
چکیده
Starting from a string with a length equal to the electron mean free path and having a unit cell equal to the Compton length of the electron, we construct a Schwarzschild-like metric. We found that this metric has a surface horizon equal to that of the electron mean free path and its Bekenstein-like entropy is proportional to the number of squared unit cells contained in this spherical surface. The Hawking temperature goes with the inverse of the perimeter of the maximum circle of this sphere. Besides this, interesting analogies are traced out with some features of the particle physics.

Ray-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملRenormalization of the Drude conductivity by the electron-phonon interaction.
It is commonly believed that the Drude conductivity is not renormalized by many-body interactions. To the contrary, we show that for impure metals the Drude conductivity is decreased by a temperaturedependent factor proportional to the electron-phonon coupling l. We demonstrate this effect by both the linear response and the quantum transport approaches. This effect, while comparable to the bar...
متن کاملVerifying the Drude response
By now more than 100 years passed since Paul Drude suggested his highly acclaimed model of electronic transport. In the form advanced by A. Sommerfeld, the Drude model is still heavily utilized to describe, for instance, the optical properties of metals. Surprisingly, the key prediction of the Drude model, the frequency dependence of the complex conductivity with its pronounced roll-off was dir...
متن کاملComment on "Theory of spin Hall effect: extension of the Drude model".
An extension of the Drude model is proposed that accounts for the spin and spin-orbit interaction of charge carriers. Spin currents appear due to the combined action of the external electric field, crystal field, and scattering of charge carriers. The expression for the spin Hall conductivity is derived for metals and semiconductors that is independent of the scattering mechanism. In cubic meta...
متن کاملWhat Is the Temperature Dependence of the Casimir Force between Real Metals?
The situation with the temperature corrections to the Casimir force between real metals of finite conductivity is reported. It is shown that the plasma dielectric function is well adapted to the Lifshitz formula and leads to reasonable results for real conductors. The Drude dielectric function which describes media with dissipation is found not to belong to the application range of the Lifshitz...
