An example of physical systems where an electron moves along a closed path is cyclotron motion (details are given in the page of Berry phase). Berry phase must be considered to obtain the correct quantization condition.
There are several important aspects of this generalization of Berry's phase: 1) Instead of the parameter space for the original Berry phase, this Ning-Haken generalization is defined in phase space; 2) Instead of the adiabatic evolution in quantum mechanical system, the evolution of the system in phase space needs not to be adiabatic.
The Hannay angle is defined in the context of action-angle coordinates.In an initially time-invariant system, an action variable is a constant. After introducing a periodic perturbation (), the action variable becomes an adiabatic invariant, and the Hannay angle for its corresponding angle variable can be calculated according to the path integral that represents an evolution in which the ...
Trigonal bipyramidal molecular shape ax = axial ligands (on unique axis) eq = equatorial ligand (in plane perpendicular to unique axis). The Berry mechanism, or Berry pseudorotation mechanism, is a type of vibration causing molecules of certain geometries to isomerize by exchanging the two axial ligands (see the figure) for two of the equatorial ones.
Recently there was a generalization of this formula for arbitrary matrix Hamiltonians that involves a Berry phase-like term stemming from spin or other internal degrees of freedom. [9] The index distinguishes the primitive periodic orbits: the shortest period orbits of a given set of initial conditions.
Symplectic manifolds arise from classical mechanics; in particular, they are a generalization of the phase space of a closed system. [1] In the same way the Hamilton equations allow one to derive the time evolution of a system from a set of differential equations, the symplectic form should allow one to obtain a vector field describing the flow of the system from the differential of a ...
The one-dimensional integrals can be generalized to multiple dimensions. [2] (+) = ()Here A is a real positive definite symmetric matrix.. This integral is performed by diagonalization of A with an orthogonal transformation = = where D is a diagonal matrix and O is an orthogonal matrix.
Liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) is a relatively simple method that involves dispersing graphite in a liquid medium to produce graphene by sonication or high shear mixing, followed by centrifugation. Restacking is an issue with this technique unless solvents with appropriate surface energy are used (e.g. NMP).
