Topological polarization in disordered systems
Giuseppe De Nittis, Danilo Polo
Published 2022-10-18Version 1
Deformations in piezoelectric materials lead to conduction effects, which are due to two contributions: the relative displacements of the ionic cores, and the so-called orbital polarization. This work is devoted to the rigorous derivation of the celebrated King-Smith and Vanderbilt formula for orbital polarization in a generalized setting that includes continuous random systems among others.
