چکیده
Skomski, Ralph, "Berry phase from a randomly fluctuating magnetic field" (2012). Ralph Skomski Publications. Paper 69. The quantum-mechanical Berry phase due to a randomly fluctuating magnetic field is calculated by exploiting an analogous random-walk problem in polymer physics. The phase depends on the time correlations of the magnetic field, despite the adiabatic nature of the Berry phase. A probability distribution for the phase is obtained, and how this phase could affect the magnetotransport in granular magnetic nanostructures is briefly discussed.

Primordial Magnetic Fields
The explanation of the observed galactic magnetic fields may require the existence of a primordial magnetic field. Such a field may arise during the early cosmological phase transitions, or because of other particle physics related phenomena in the very early universe reviewed here. The turbulent evolution of the initial, randomly fluctuating microscopic field to a large-scale macroscopic field...
متن کاملMHD FREE CONVECTIVE FLUCTUATING FLOW THROUGH A POROUS EFFECT WITH VARIABLE PERMEABILITY PARAMETER
In the present paper, we have studied MHD free convective two dimensional unsteady viscous incompressible flows through a porous effect bounded by an infinite vertical porous plate with constant suction. The permeability of the porous medium fluctuates in time about a constant mean, and the viscosity of fluid is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature. The flow is permitted under th...
متن کاملWeak antilocalization of ultrarelativistic fermions
The Letter discusses the Berry phase influence on the weak localization phenomenon at the adiabatic backscattering of ultrarelativistic particles in a random medium. We demonstrate that bosons that pass along a certain closed path in opposite directions come back always in phase (an example: the backscattering enhancement of electromagnetic waves), whereas fermions come exactly in antiphase. Th...
متن کاملGeometric nature of the environment-induced Berry phase and geometric dephasing.
We investigate the geometric phase or Berry phase acquired by a spin half which is both subject to a slowly varying magnetic field and weakly coupled to a dissipative environment (either quantum or classical). We study how this phase is modified by the environment and find that the modification is of a geometric nature. While the original Berry phase (for an isolated system) is the flux of a mo...

In this paper we have studied a new form of Non-Commutative (NC) phase space with an oper-atorial form of noncommutativity. A point particle in this space feels the effect of an interaction with an " internal " magnetic field, that is singular at a specific position θ −1. By " internal " we mean that the effective magnetic fields depends essentially on the particle properties and modifies the s...
