Abstract
Berry discovered that wave functions may acquire a geometrical phase factor, in addition to the usual dynamical phase, during an adiabatic cycle with period T. The dynamical and Berry phases are here recognized as the first two terms in a systematic WKB expansion in powers of ε = 1/ T. We thus provide a simple method for the calculation of adiabatic phases and for a consistent inclusion of nonadiabatic correctionsKeywords
