Using the fully-relativistic screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method I study the orbital magnetism in the half-metallic Heusler alloys. Orbital moments are almost completely quenched and they are negligible with respect to the spin moments.…

Assumption of certain hierarchy of soft ferromagnet energy terms, realized in small enough flat nano-elements, allows to obtain explicit expressions for their magnetization distributions. By minimising the energy terms sequentially, from…
We use exact diagonalization combined with mean-field theory to investigate the phase diagram of the spin-orbital model for cubic vanadates. The spin-orbit coupling competes with Hund's exchange and triggers a novel phase, with the ordering…
Magnetisation of superconductors are often measured under isothermal and uniform magnetic fields. Magnetisation measurements in an unrestricted thermodynamic state and in non uniform magnetic fields naturally emerge from permanent magnets…
We consider the contribution of electron-electron interactions to the orbital magnetization of a two-dimensional electron gas, focusing on the ballistic limit in the regime of negligible Landau-level spacing. This regime can be described by…
It is proved that for general, not necessarily periodic quasi one dimensional systems, the band position operator corresponding to an isolated part of the energy spectrum has discrete spectrum and its eigenfunctions have the same spatial…
In the real space formalism of orbital magnetization (OM) for a Chern insulator without an external electric field, it is correct to average the local OM either over the bulk region or over the whole sample. However for a layered Chern…
Harnessing spin and orbital angular momentum is a fundamental concept in condensed matter physics, materials science, and quantum-device applications. In particular, the search for new phenomena that generate a flow of spin angular…
In this note we show that certain meromorphic orthogonal modular forms are magnetic, i.e.\ their Fourier coefficients satisfy special divisibility criteria. These meromorphic orthogonal modular forms are counterparts to the orthogonal cusp…
