Abstract: We develop a semiclassical theory for the dynamics of electrons in a magnetic Bloch band, where the Berry phase plays an important role. This theory, together with the Boltzmann equation, provides a framework for studying transport problems in high magnetic fields. We also derive an Onsager-like formula for the quantization of cyclotron orbits, and we find a connection between the number of orbits and Hall conductivity. This connection is employed to explain the clustering structure of the Hofstadter spectrum. The advantage of this theory is its generality and conceptual simplicity.

Room-Temperature Ferroelectricity, Ferromagnetism, and Anomalous Hall Effect in Half-Metallic Monolayer CrTe
Imran Ahamed,Atasi Chakraborty,Pushpendra Yadav,Rik Dey,Yogesh Singh Chauhan,Somnath Bhowmick,Amit Agarwal +6 more
TL;DR: Monolayer CrTe exhibits room-temperature ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and anomalous Hall effect. It is a half-metal with a large half-metal gap and exhibits significant in-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
Spin Hall Effect For Anyons
TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic spin Hall effect from generic anyon dynamics in the presence of external electromagnetic field was analyzed and the free anyon was represented as a spinning particle with an underlying non-commutative configuration space.

TL;DR: In this paper , it was shown that an exotic photon with anyonic spin, magnetic moment and exotic charges associated with the 2-parameter central extension of the Carroll group moves on the horizon of a Kerr-Newman Black Hole consistently with the Hall law, disproving the long-thought statement that Carroll particles cannot move.
Nonabelian magnonics in antiferromagnets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a semiclassical formalism for antiferromagnetic (AFM) magnonics which promotes the central ingredient of spin wave chirality, encoded in a quantity called magnonic isospin, to a first-class citizen of the theory.

Quantal phase factors accompanying adiabatic changes
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Aharonov-Bohm effect can be interpreted as a geometrical phase factor and a general formula for γ(C) was derived in terms of the spectrum and eigen states of the Hamiltonian over a surface spanning C.

Quantized Hall conductance in a two-dimensional periodic potential
TL;DR: In this article, the Hall conductance of a two-dimensional electron gas has been studied in a uniform magnetic field and a periodic substrate potential, where the Kubo formula is written in a form that makes apparent the quantization when the Fermi energy lies in a gap.

Energy levels and wave functions of Bloch electrons in rational and irrational magnetic fields
TL;DR: In this paper, an effective single-band Hamiltonian representing a crystal electron in a uniform magnetic field is constructed from the tight-binding form of a Bloch band by replacing the operator of the Schr\"odinger equation with a matrix method, and the graph of the spectrum over a wide range of "rational" fields is plotted.

Holonomy, the Quantum Adiabatic Theorem, and Berry's Phase
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the geometrical phase factor found by Berry in his study of the quantum adiabatic theorem is precisely the holonomy in a Hermitian line bundle.
Quantization of particle transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the integrated particle current produced by a slow periodic variation of the potential of a Schrodinger equation is evaluated, and it is shown that in a finite torus the integral of the current over a period can vary continuously, but in an infinite periodic system with full bands it must have an integer value.
