Generation of geometrical phases and persistent spin currents in 1-dimensional rings by Lorentz-violating terms

We have demonstrated that Lorentz-violating terms stemming from the fermion sector of the SME are able to generate geometrical phases on the wave function of electrons confined in 1-dimensional rings, as well as persistent spin currents, in the total absence of electromagnetic fields. We have explic...
