Berry curvature and Bloch bands

Closed paths in momentum space

Two ways

• An external magnetic field induces cyclotron motion along a closed orbit in q space.

• An electric field causes linear variation in q. The closed path is completed when the entire Brillouin zone is “visited” by increasing values of momentum

Parametrization of the Brillouin zone

Berry phase and (name) Hall effect

• Quantum Hall effect

Berry curvature

• Anomalous Hall effect

Berry curvature

Phonons coupled with magnetic fields

Main result: The PHE depends on the Berry curvature
