Abstract

The orbital magnetization and its effects on the two-dimensional kagom\'{e} lattice with spin anisotropies included in the general Hund's coupling region have been theoretically studied. The results show that the strength of the Hund's coupling, as well as the spin chirality, contributes to the orbital magnetization M\mathcal{M}. Upon varying both these parameters, it is found that the two parts of M\mathcal{M}, i.e., the conventional part Mc\mathbf{M}_{c} and the Berry-phase correction part MΩ\mathbf{M}_{\Omega}, oppose each other. The anomalous Nernst conductivity is also calculated and a peak-valley structure as a function of the electron Fermi energy is obtained.
