• Title: On the quantization of AB phase in nonlinear systems
• Authors: Xi Liu, Qing-hai Wang, and Jiangbin Gong
• Abstract summary: We study the Aharonov-Bohm phase associated with an adiabatic process in the momentum space. For and only for Kerr nonlinearity, the AB phase experiences a jump of $pi$ at the critical nonlinearity. Our results may be useful for experimental measurement of power-law nonlinearity.

• Abstract: Self-intersecting energy band structures in momentum space can be induced by nonlinearity at the mean-field level, with the so-called nonlinear Dirac cones as one intriguing consequence. Using the Qi-Wu-Zhang model plus power law nonlinearity, we systematically study in this paper the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase associated with an adiabatic process in the momentum space, with two adiabatic paths circling around one nonlinear Dirac cone. Interestingly, for and only for Kerr nonlinearity, the AB phase experiences a jump of $\pi$ at the critical nonlinearity at which the Dirac cone appears or disappears, whereas for all other powers of nonlinearity the AB phase always changes continuously with the nonlinear strength. Our results may be useful for experimental measurement of power-law nonlinearity and shall motivate further fundamental interest in aspects of geometric phase and adiabatic following in nonlinear systems.
