Abstract

We derive a formula of the nonadiabatic noncyclic Pancharatnam phase for a quantum spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle subject to an arbitrary magnetic field. The formula is applied to three specific kinds of magneic fields. (i) For an orientated magnetic field, the Pancharatnam phase is derived exactly. (ii) For a rotating magnetic field, the evolution equation is solved analytically. The Aharonov-Anandan phase is obtained exactly and the Pancharatnam phase is computed numerically. (iii) We propose a kind of topological transition in one-dimensional mesoscopic ring subject to an in-plane magnetic field, and then address the nonadiabatic noncyclic effect on this phenomenon.

Nonadiabatic noncyclic geometric phase and persistent current in one-dimensional rings

Z. D. Wang, Shi-Liang Zhu

The total geometric phase is composed of the nonadiabatic noncyclic Pancharatnam phase, the usual Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase, and the effective AB phase. It is found that the persistent current in one-dimensional rings is determined from this phase. As applications, we address first the geometric phase and the persistent current in a ring subject to a cylindrically symmetric electromagnetic field. We show that the Pancharatnam phase recovers the Aharanov-Anandan phase in the case of cyclic evolution, as well as the Berry phase in the adiabatic evolution. Moreover, we discuss the persistent current induced by the spin-orbit-induced geometric phase in the presence of a local magnetic field. Generalization to many-body cases is also addressed.

Spin-orbit interaction and Aharonov-Anandan phase in mesoscopic rings

Tiezheng Qian, Zhao-Bin Su

We show the existence of a nonadiabatic geometric phase, i.e., an Aharonov-Anandan (AA) phase, in the Aharonov-Casher (AC) topological interference effect in one-dimensional mesoscopic rings. We find the AC phase is the phase accumulated by the spin wave function during a cyclic evolution, and show it is the sum of a geometric AA phase and a dynamical phase. In the adiabatic limit, the AA phase becomes the spin-orbit Berry phase introduced by Aronov and Lyanda-Geller. By solving exactly the model of a quasi-one-dimensional ring formed by the 2DEG on a semiconductor heterostructure, we discuss the observability of the AA phase in the AC effect.

A mathematical formalism for describing geometric phases is presented. A development of the geometric phase is given, which is valid for noncyclic nonadiabatic processes. The result is used to calculate exactly the geometric phase for a quantum system that is made up of a spin one-half system in a rotating magnetic field.

Nonadiabatic Phase and Persistent Currents for System of Spin-$\frac12 $ Particles in Presence of Electromagnetic Fields and Spin-Orbit Interaction

Li Nian-Bei, Zhongshui Ma

We present a comprehensive view and details of calculations on Aharonov–Anandan phase for the charged particles in the external electric and magnetic fields for a nonadiabatic process. We derive, with consideration of a spin-orbit interaction and Zeemann Splitting, the persistent currents as a response to an Aharonov–Casher topological interference effect in one-dimensional mesoscopic ring. We also establish a connection to Berry adiabatic phase with deduced dynamical-nature dependence in the nonadiabatic process. The second quantization representation has also been employed in exhibition of persistent currents in the many-body case.

Nonadiabatic Berry’s phase for a spin particle in a rotating magnetic field

Shun-Jin Wang

The time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for a spin particle in a rotating magnetic field is solved analytically by the cranking method, and the exact solutions are employed to study the nonadiabatic Berry's phase. An alternative expression for Berry's phase is given, which shows that Berry's phase is related to the expectation value of spin along the rotating axis and gives Berry's phase a physical explanation besides its gauge geometric interpretation. This expression also presents a simple algorithm for calculating the nonadiabatic Berry's phase for Hamiltonians that are nonlinear functions of the SU(2) generators. It is shown that nonadiabaticity alters the time evolution ray and in turn changes its Berry's phase. For the SU(2) dynamical group, the nonadiabatic effect on Berry's phase manifests itself as spin alignment (a phenomenon in nuclear physics), and spin-alignment quantization (observed recently in high-spin nuclear physics) is related to Berry's-phase quantization.
