Berry Curvature in Graphene: A New Approach
In the present paper we have directly computed the Berry curvature terms
relevant for Graphene in the presence of an \textit{inhomogeneous} lattice
distortion. We have employed the generalized Foldy Wouthuysen framework,
developed by some of us \cite{ber0,ber1,ber2}. We show that a non-constant
lattice distortion leads to a valley-orbit coupling which is responsible to a
valley-Hall effect. This is similar to the valley-Hall effect induced by an
electric field proposed in \cite{niu2} and is the analogue of the spin-Hall
effect in semiconductors \cite{MURAKAMI, SINOVA}. Our general expressions for
Berry curvature, for the special case of homogeneous distortion, reduce to the
previously obtained results \cite{niu2}. We also discuss the Berry phase in the
quantization of cyclotron motion.Comment: Slightly modified version, to appear in EPJ
