Inelastic scattering processes such as Brillouin scattering can often function in cascaded regimes and this is likely to occur in certain integrated opto-acoustic devices. We develop a Hamiltonian formalism for cascaded Brillouin scattering…
In magnetic systems, electronic bands often acquire nontrivial topological structure characterized by gauge flux distribution in momentum (k)-space. It sometimes follows that the phase of the wavefunctions cannot be defined uniquely over…
