Abstract
We present a theoretical study on the orbital magnetism in multilayer graphenes within the effective mass approximation. The Hamiltonian and thus susceptibility can be decomposed into contributions from sub-systems equivalent to monolayer or bilayer graphene. The monolayer-type subband exists only in odd layers and exhibits a delta-function susceptibility at . The bilayer-type subband appearing in every layer number gives a singular structure in the vicinity of due to the trigonal warping as well as a logarithmic tail away from . The integral of the susceptibility over energy is approximately given only by the layer number.
