How can i calculate the Berry Curvature for the Dirac points in Haldane graphene?

I want to calculate the berry curvature at the Dirac points in graphene with complex next nearest hopping (haldane model) in order to show that it is non-zero at the dirac points and use it to compute ...

‘Proof’ that non-Abelian Berry phase vanishes identically

For a degenerate system with Hamiltonian $H =H(\mathbf{R})$ and eigenstates $\left|n(\mathbf{R})\right\rangle$ the non-Abelian Berry connection is $$A^{(mn)}_i=\mathrm{i}\left\langle m|\partial_in\...

Berry Curvature

Can I ask two questions about the Berry curvature? The formula for the berry curvature is written below. $$\Omega_n (k) = -Im \langle \bigtriangledown_k u_{nk} | \times | \bigtriangledown_k u_{nk} \...

Berry curvature vanishes in TRS system

In spin 1/2 system with TR symmetry , the Berry curvature must vanish. Because Berry curvature is odd. How to prove it? \begin{equation} \langle\partial_{-k_x}u^{I}(-k)|\partial_{-k_y}u^{I}(-k)\rangle-...

Numerical Berry curvature for bosons

I am trying to numerically compute the Berry Curvature for a generic quadratic Bosonic Hamiltonian of the form $$H = \sum_{ij} A_{ij} b_{i}^\dagger b_j + \frac{1}{2} \sum_{ij}\left( B_{ij} b_i b_j + \...

Numerical Calculation of Berry Curvature

I am trying to calculate some berry curvature (BC) in a 2D lattice and I have some things I am getting lost with. In the 2D lattice, we set up the eigenvalue problem $H|u_1\rangle = \epsilon_i|u_i\...

Derivation of the Berry Curvature and Bloch Magnetic Moment in Graphene

(I found a workable solution, skip to the "Solution" part to see it) I am attempting to derive equations 2 and 6 from Xiao et al. paper "Valley contrasting physics in graphene" (...
