• Abstract: The interband effect is an important concept both in traditional and modern solid-state physics. In this paper, we present a theory of the nontrivial interband effect, which cannot be removed without breaking given rules. We define the general nontrivial interband effect by regarding a property of the set of the total bands of a tight-binding Hamiltonian as the triviality. As examples of the source of the nontrivial interband effect, we consider several topological concepts: stable topological insulator, symmetry-based indicator, fragile topological insulator, and multipole/higher-order topological insulator. As an application, we calculate the orbital magnetic susceptibility for tight-binding Hamiltonians with topological properties. In addition, we consider the mechanical properties induced by the nontrivial interband effect. We define interband-induced degeneracy pressure, which tends to take a negative value, and calculate it for the Chern insulator. This calculation demonstrates the importance of topological band structures in mechanical properties of solids. We also discuss the application to nonlinear optics characterized by the polarization difference and the generalization to interacting systems with entanglement. The framework of the nontrivial interband effect, which includes topological concepts as subsets, might be useful for finding unexplored concepts.

In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

In contrast to the nonlinear Drude and nonlinear anomalous Hall contributions, the intrinsic nonlinear thermal conductivity is independent of the scattering timescale. Our findings highlight the significance of band geometry induced nonlinear thermal transport and motivate experimental probe of the intrinsic nonlinear thermal Hall response with implications for quantum magnonics.
