Negative transport times in Fe-based superconductors — •Maxim Breitkreiz1, Philip M. R.

Negative transport times lead to unexpected transport behavior such as negative magnetoresistance, strongly enhanced Hall coefficient, and reduced resistivity. Within a semiclassical Boltzmann approach beyond the relaxation-time approximation, we demonstrate that negative transport times can arise in iron pnictides due to scattering of charge carriers at spin fluctuations. To explore this effect, we consider the temperature dependence of transport coefficients for a phenomenological two-band model relevant for iron pnictides.
