The real space formalism of orbital magnetization (OM) is an average of the local OM over some appropriate region of the system. Previous studies prefer a bulk average (i.e., without including boundaries). Based on a bilayer model with an…
The orbital magnetic susceptibility of an electron gas in a periodic potential depends not only on the zero field energy spectrum but also on the geometric structure of cell-periodic Bloch states which encodes interband effects. In addition…
Spin-orbit coupling introduces chirality into electronic structure. This can have profound effects on the magnetization induced by orbital motion of electrons. Here we derive a formula for the orbital magnetization of interacting electrons…
We find that, in the mesoscopic regime, modification of the material's surface can induce an extensive change of the material's magnetic moment. In other words, perturbation of order $N^2$ atoms on the surface of a 3-dimensional solid can…
