We predict that large moments $J$, placed into a crystal field with the cubic point symmetry group, differ by their spectrum and magnetic properties. E. g., properties of the odd-integer moments are different from those of the even-integer.…
The phase of quantum magneto-oscillations is often associated with the Berry phase and is widely used to argue in favor of topological nontriviality of the system (Berry phase $2\pi n+\pi$). Nevertheless, the experimentally determined value…
Systematic effects caused by the Berry (geometric) phases in an electric-dipole-moment experiment in an all-electric storage ring are considered. We analyze the experimental setup when the spin is frozen and local longitudinal and vertical…

Berry phase was originally defined for systems whose states are separated by finite energy gaps. One might naively expect that a system without a gap cannot have a Berry phase. Despite this we ask whether a Berry phase can be observed in a…
