By introducing the twist operator, the geometric phase can be defined by calculating its ground-state expectation value. In contrast to the previous numerical examinations, our discussion presents an exact calculation for the determination of the geometric phase. Through two representative examples, our calculation shows the intimate connection between the geometric phase and phase transition: different behaviors of the geometric phase can be identified in this paper, which are directly related to the energy gap above the ground state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-08-02T09:22:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Vf", "75.10.Pq", "05.30.Pr" ], "keywords": [ "geometric phase", "quantum phase transition", "two-band model", "ground-state expectation value", "ground state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2008, "month": "Aug", "volume": 78, "number": 2, "pages": "022101" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvA..78b2101C" } } }
