The semiclassical equations of motion for a Bloch electron include an anomalous velocity term analogous to a $k$-space "Lorentz force", with the Berry connection playing the role of a vector potential. By examining the adiabatic evolution…
The anomalous velocity has been derived so far based on the single-band approximation. In this paper, the anomalous velocity is derived accounting for multiple energy bands. It is shown that when multiple energy bands are considered, the…
The semiclassical description of the dynamics of wave packets in periodic potentials and subject to an applied force relies on the concepts of effective mass and anomalous transport. This picture is valid if the force changes slowly in time…
The anomalous velocity term in the semiclassical model of a Bloch electron deviates the trajectory from the conventional one. When the Berry curvature (alias noncommutative parameter) is a monopole in momentum space as found recently in…
We investigate the dynamics of a wave packet in a parity-breaking one-dimensional periodic potential slowly varied in time and perturbed by a linear potential. Parity is broken by considering an asymmetric double well per unit cell. By…
We report on the time-resolved detection of the anomalous velocity, constituting charge carriers moving perpendicular to an electric driving field, in undoped GaAs quantum wells. For this we optically excite the quantum wells with…
We consider two systems of wave equations whose wave-packet solutions have trajectories that are altered by the "anomalous velocity" effect of a Berry curvature. The first is the matrix Weyl equation describing cyclotron motion of a charged…
Berry phases have long been known to significantly alter the properties of periodic systems, resulting in anomalous terms in the semiclassical equations of motion describing wave-packet dynamics. In non-Hermitian systems, generalizations of…
The Berry curvature of a Bloch band can be interpreted as a local magnetic field in reciprocal space. This analogy can be extended by defining an electric field analog in reciprocal space which arises from the time-dependent Berry…
A classical wave-particle entity in the form of a millimetric walking droplet can emerge on the free surface of a vertically vibrating liquid bath. Such wave-particle entities have been shown to exhibit hydrodynamic analogs of quantum…
This paper proposes a simple model of anomalous diffusion, in which a particle moves with the velocity field induced by a single "dipole" (a doublet or a pair of source and sink), whose moment is modulated randomly at each time step. A…
In the present work, we develop a method to calculate the anomalous velocity of a spinning electron. From Dirac equation, the relationships among the expectation values of the Pryce's mass-center operator, the position operator, the spin…
Non-Hermitian materials can not only exhibit exotic energy band structures but also an anomalous velocity induced by non-Hermitian anomalous Berry connection as predicted by the semiclassical equations of motion for Bloch electrons.…
In this paper we review some known results on the motion of Bloch Oscillators in the crystal momentum representation. We emphasize that the acceleration theorem, as usually stated by most of the authors, is incomplete, but in the case of…
This paper defines an angular velocity for time-dependent functions on the sphere, and applies it to gravitational waveforms from compact binaries. Because it is geometrically meaningful and has a clear physical motivation, the angular…
An obvious determination of the acceleration of gravity g can be deduced from the measurement of the velocity of falling atoms using a pi-pi pulses sequence of stimulated Raman transitions. By using a vertical standing wave to hold atoms…
This short note is a sequel to our previous papers on the asymptotic behavior of Bloch wave packet solutions of the wave equation in periodic media. The purpose is to prove that the group velocity for these Bloch wave packets is bounded by…
We study the dynamics of electrons in crystalline solids in the presence of inhomogeneous external electric and magnetic fields. We present a manifestly gauge-invariant operator-based approach without relying on a semiclassical wavepacket…
Excitons are neutral objects, that, naively, should have no response to a uniform, electric field. Could the Berry curvature of the underlying electronic bands alter this conclusion? In this work, we show that Berry curvature can indeed…
We introduce a simple stochastic system able to generate anomalous diffusion both for position and velocity. The model represents a viable description of the Fermi's acceleration mechanism and it is amenable to analytical treatment through…
