the effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated cds thin films have been investigated. cds thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, uv-vis-nir spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to character...

We show that the position-momentum duality offers a transparent interpretation of band geometry at topological crossings. Under this duality, with Berry connection is dual to free-electron motion under gauge field. This identifies trace quantum metric as energy in momentum space. The crossings defects thus induce quantization metric. For $\mathbb{Z}$ nodal-point and nodal-surface semimetals thr...
