53 Transport in Strange Metals Recall that in a Fermi liquid, the Lorenz ratio L = apple/(t ), where apple is the thermal conductivity, and is the conductivity, is given by L = 2 k 2 B 3e 2 In contrast, for a strange metal with a relativistic Hamiltonian, L diverges as the charge density Q! 0 and the impurity momentum relaxation time imp!1: L = H imp T 2 Q 1 (1 + Q 2 imp /(H Q )) 2, where H is the enthalpy density. This divergence happens because in the clean limit, apple diverges as Q! 0, while = Q, an intrinsic, finite, quantum critical conductivity.
