Berry phase for spins of relativistic electrons

Quantum Physics 2020-12-02 v1

Abstract

Berry phase is a very general concept. It is applied here to families of solutions of the Dirac equation with different values of spin. The value of the Berry phase in the spin space is given by the same expression as was found before in the momentum space.
