Aspects of Berry's phase in solid state physics.
Rave, Matthew J.

Aspects of Berry's phase in solid state physics. - 113 p.

Adviser: William Kerr.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Wake Forest University, 2007.

We examine several aspects of Berry's phase (BP) in the context of solid state physics. We first present several simple models that lead to BP effects, and then introduce a generalized Kronig-Penney potential that yields a non-trivial BP when inversion symmetry is broken. Next, we present an alternative derivation of the BP-modified Bloch electron semiclassical equations of motion (EOM) using a Poisson bracket formalism. The presence of a non-zero Berry curvature in the EOM is investigated, in particular for a spinless gas of Bloch electrons. Next, the concepts of effective mass and cyclotron mass are reconsidered in light of the presence of a BP. Finally we examine the feasibility of creating a simple 2D model to study BP effects; an asymmetric hexagonal lattice is studied and suggestions are made for further research.Subjects--Topical Terms:
