摘要

We discuss the general principles of transport in normal phase atomic gases, comparing Bose and Fermi systems. Our study shows that two-dimensional bosonic transport is non-universal with respect to different dissipation mechanisms. Near the superfluid transition temperature T-c, a striking similarity between the fermionic and bosonic transport emerges because super-conducting (fluid) fluctuation transport for Fermi gases is dominated by the bosonic, Cooper pair component. As in fluctuation theory, one finds that the Seebeck coefficient changes sign at T-c and the Lorenz number approaches zero at T-c. Our findings appear quantitatively consistent with recent Bose gas experiments.
