    Abstract:
    We study the semi-classical limit of the Schrödinger equation in a crystal in the presence of an external potential and magnetic field. We first introduce the Bloch-Wigner transform and derive the asymptotic equations governing this transform in the semi-classical setting. For the second part, we focus on the appearance of the Berry curvature terms in the asymptotic equations. These terms play a crucial role in many important physical phenomena such as the quantum Hall effect. We give a simple derivation of these terms in different settings using asymptotic analysis. © 2013 Institute of Applied Mathematics, Academy of Mathematics and System Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
