Steady illumination of a non-centrosymmetric semiconductor results in a bulk photovoltaic current, which is contributed by real-space displacements (`shifts') of charged quasiparticles as they transit between Bloch states. The shift induced…

Surface electrons of strong topological insulator wires acquire a Berry phase difference of $\pi$ on orbiting the wire. This can be detected in response of clean wires (whose Fermi level is tuned to the Dirac point) to the presence of the…
The Aharonov-Bohm scattering amplitude is calculated in the context of planar gravity with localized sources which also carry a magnetic flux. These sources cause space-time to develop conical singularities at their location, thus…
