N2 - Hydrodynamic description of collective electron motion turns out to be fruitful, since it provides a reliable physical concept that allows engineering the electron-electron interaction. We experimentally study the relation between two fundamental quantities—the electron viscosity and the Fermi quasiparticle lifetime—beyond the applicability limit of the Fermi liquid theory. We use point contact (PC) geometry to study electron transport and observe superballistic PC conductance, which is a signature of the electron viscosity. At high enough temperatures, the viscosity-lifetime relation is shown to diverge from the theoretically predicted one and turns out to be nontrivial. In addition, we study these phenomena in PCs freely suspended over a substrate, i.e., under the unique experimental conditions of enhanced electron-electron interaction. Suspension is found to reduce the electron viscosity in the whole temperature range, which makes the suspended structures a promising test bed for studying hydrodynamic effects in solids.
