| Abstract: |
| Electron transport involves a family of important material properties that can provide a wealth of information about the underlying system. In recent few decades, it has been more and more realized that the geometrical quantities in the momentum space, such as the Berry curvature and the orbital magnetic moment, play a highly involving role in the electron transport. Their connection to the transport property has been examined to great extent at the linear order. At the nonlinear order, such connection has begun to be examined recently. This not only deepens the understanding of such nonlinear transport phenomena, but also helps the band-structure engineering of them. In this work, we introduce the general semiclassical framework of the transport theory, which can be used to study both the linear and nonlinear phenomena, and exemplify the Berry phase effect in several transport phenomena. |
