Thermoelectric transport in strange metals

Abstract

Holographic models gained a lot of interest in the condensed-matter community in the last decade.People are interested in these models since they might be able to capture some of the features observed in strongly correlated states of matter. An example of such a highly correlated state of matter is the "strange" metallic phase, which is a metallic phase where the electrons of the system are strongly coupled. In this thesis we try to study these strange metallic phases using a holographic hyperscaling-violating model. Concretely, the thermoelectric transport properties of the system will be determined.
