报告介绍
报告摘要:
Ever since its discovery the notion of Berry phase has permeated through all branches of physics. Over the past three decades it was gradually realized that the Berry phase of the electronic wave function can have a profound effect on material properties and is responsible for a spectrum of phenomena, such as polarization, orbital magnetism, various quantum, anomalous, or spin Hall effects, and quantum charge pumping. In this lecture, I will present some basic material in this subject and also try to describe some of our recent results.

报告人简介:
  Professor Qian Niu obtained a B.S. from Peking University in 1981. He went to the University of Washington for graduate studies, and received his Ph.D. in physics in 1985. Now he is a Trull Centennial Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Austin, from which he is currently on leave to serve as the director of the International Center for Quantum Materials at Peking University. He has worked on the theories on quantum Hall effects, quasicrystals, ultracold atoms, spin transport, and graphene materials, with an emphasis on topological and geometric phase effects in quantum transport. He has published more than 220 peer reviewed papers, including 70 in Physical Review Letters, and has over 12000 citations (with an H index of 58).
