Abstrakt: We study the linear response of the deformation potential of a chiral two-orbital superconductor Sr 2 RuO 4 to the applied strain. This response rises due to the strain-induced modified interatomic distances. In the linear response theory, the deformation potential–deformation potential correlation function defines the full complex frequency-dependent viscosity tensor. We calculate the anti-symmetric part of this tensor, the phonon Hall viscosity, to consider the static and dynamical Hall responses. The static phonon Hall static enables us to distinguish the different topological phases of Sr 2 RuO 4 . We focus on two regimes: (a) the phonon Hall viscosity due to the changes in the hopping energies of the tight-binding Hamiltonian and is termed the normal phonon Hall viscosity and (b) the phonon Hall viscosity due to the variation in the amplitudes of the order parameter of the superconducting state that causes an anomalous momentum transport coefficient and is analogous to the one-dimensional odd isotropic part of the viscosity tensor of an incompressible fluid in two dimension space. In both cases, the tetragonal crystal symmetry which corresponds to the isotropy in the system plays an important role. We also investigate the effect of the crystal symmetry on the stability of the nontrivial topological phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
