Semiclassical transport with Berry curvature: Chambers formula and applications to systems with Fermi surface topological transitions

Abstract

Starting with general semiclassical equations of motion for electrons in the presence of electric and magnetic fields, we extend the Chambers formula to include in addition to a magnetic field, time-dependent electric fields and bands with Berry curvature. We thereby compute the conductivity tensor ${\sigma }_{\alpha \beta }(B,\omega )$ in the presence of magnetic field for bands in two (2D) and three (3D) dimensions with Berry curvature. We focus then on several applications to magnetotransport for metals with Fermi surface topological transitions in 2D. In particular, we consider a rectangular lattice and a model related to overdoped graphene, to investigate the signatures of different types of Fermi surface topological transitions in metals in the Hall coefficient, Hall conductivity ${\sigma }_{xy}$ and longitudinal conductivity ${\sigma }_{xx}$. The behavior of those quantities as a function of frequency, when the electric field is time dependent, is also investigated. As an example of non-zero Berry curvature, we study the magnetotransport of the Haldane model within this context. In addition, we provide the linear and nonlinear electric current formula to order $E^2$.
