It remains challenging to resolve the dynamics of charges with different mobilities in multi-band systems. Here, the authors report a Raman scattering study of the dynamics of holes and electrons in semimetallic SrIrO3, which is well described by a marginal Fermi liquid phenomenology, with frequency dependent scattering rates close to the Planckian limit.
