the Berry phase accumulated by a Bloch band across the one-dimensional Brillouin zone, tied to the position of Wannier centers and to polarization.

In topological matter physics, Zak phase refers to the Berry phase accumulated by a Bloch band across the one-dimensional Brillouin zone, tied to the position of Wannier centers and to polarization. This meaning comes from Zak (1989) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
