If the latter moves adiabatically along a loop the state corresponding to an isolated eigenvalue acquires a Berry phase. We derive an expression for it and evaluate it in several examples such as a homogeneous field, a magnetic whisker, a particle confined at a ring or in quantum dots, a parabolic and a zero-range one. We also discuss the behavior of the lowest Landau level in this setting obtaining an explicit example of the Wilczek-Zee phase for an infinitely degenerated eigenvalue.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-11-13T11:10:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "berry phase", "magnetic systems", "point perturbations", "lowest landau level", "two-dimensional charged particle" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
