Berry phase III: Berry Phase and Bloch States   back  
The investigation of Hamiltonians that depend on slowly
(adiabatically) varying parameters lead to the discovery
of the Berry phase (geometric phase). The Berry phase has
found numerous applications in condensed matter physics.

Quantum mechanics of periodic potentials, Bloch states

Berry phase corrections to semiclassical equations of motion

Semiclassical motion in applied fields

Semiclassical level quantization, the Maslov index as a geometric
phase

Anomalous Hall effect as a topological Fermi liquid property
