Bloch dynamics with second order Berry phase correction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive the semiclassical Bloch dynamics with second-order Berry phase correction in presence of slow-varying scalar potential as perturbation. Our mathematical derivation is based on a two-scale WKB asymptotic analysis. For uniform external electric field, bi-characteristics system after positional shift introduced by connections agrees recent result previous works. Moreover, for case linear we show that extra terms arising are also gauge independent.

Nonequilibrium Approach to Bloch-Peierls-Berry Dynamics
We examine the Bloch-Peierls-Berry dynamics under a classical nonequilibrium dynamical formulation. In this formulation all coordinates in phase space formed by the position and crystal momentum space are treated on equal footing. Explicitly demonstrations of the no (naive) Liouville theorem and of the validity of Darboux theorem are given. The explicit equilibrium distribution function is obta...
متن کاملOn Berry phase in Bloch states
We comment on the relation between Berry phase and quantized Hall conductivities for charge and spin currents in some Bloch states, such as Bloch electrons in the presence of electromagnetic fields and quasiparticles in the vortex states of superfluid He. One can find out that the arguments presented here are closely related to the spontaneous polarization in crystalline dielectrics and the adi...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of the Quantum Dynamics in Crystals: The Bloch-Wigner Transform, Bloch Dynamics and Berry Phase
We study the semi-classical limit of the Schrödinger equation in a crystal in the presence of an external potential and magnetic field. We first introduce the Bloch-Wigner transform and derive the asymptotic equations governing this transform in the semi-classical setting. For the second part, we focus on the appearance of the Berry curvature terms in the asymptotic equations. These terms play ...
متن کاملBerry phase, hyperorbits, and the Hofstadter spectrum: Semiclassical dynamics in magnetic Bloch bands.
We have derived a new set of semiclassical equations for electrons in magnetic Bloch bands. The velocity and energy of magnetic Bloch electrons are found to be modified by the Berry phase and magnetization. This semiclassical approach is used to study general electron transport in a DC or AC electric field. We also find a close connection between the cyclotron orbits in magnetic Bloch bands and...
متن کاملNoncommutative geometry and nonabelian Berry phase in the wave-packet dynamics of Bloch electrons
Motivated by a recent proposal on the possibility of observing a monopole in the band structure, and by an increasing interest on the role of Berry phase in spintronics, we studied the adiabatic motion of a wave packet of Bloch functions, under a perturbation varying slowly and incommensurately to the lattice structure. We show, using only the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, that t...
