Orbital magnetization in extended systems.
While the orbital magnetic dipole moment of any finite sample is well-defined, it becomes ill-defined in the thermodynamic limit as a result of the unboundedness of the position operator. Effects due to surface currents and to bulk magnetization are not easily disentangled. The corresponding electrical problem, where surface charges and bulk polarization appear as entangled, was solved about a ...
متن کاملMagnetization Dynamics Symmetry in Spin Torque Induced Magnetization Switching
Magnetization dynamics symmetry plays important roles in magnetization switching. Here we study magnetic field and spin torque induced magnetization switching. Spin moment transferring from polarized itinerant electrons to local magnetization provides a magnetization switching mechanism without using external magnetic field. Besides its importance in fundamental magnetization switching dynamics...
متن کاملCurrent-determined orbital magnetization in a metallic magnet
In the framework of density functional theory a calculation of the orbital magnetization for a metallic magnet is carried out, obtaining it from the orbital current density. A gauge freedom inherent in this calculation is discussed. Choosing the compound U3Sb4 we calculate the orbital current density from which we obtain the corresponding magnetization in the Trammel gauge. We compare the prope...
متن کاملComputing topological invariants without inversion symmetry
We consider the problem of calculating the weak and strong topological indices in noncentrosymmetric time-reversal (T ) invariant insulators. In 2D we use a gauge corresponding to hybrid Wannier functions that are maximally localized in one dimension. Although this gauge is not smoothly defined on the two torus, it respects the T symmetry of the system and allows for a definition of the Z2 inva...
متن کاملOrbital magnetization in periodic insulators.
Working in the Wannier representation, we derive an expression for the orbital magnetization of a periodic insulator. The magnetization is shown to be comprised of two contributions, an obvious one associated with the internal circulation of bulklike Wannier functions in the interior, and an unexpected one arising from net currents carried by Wannier functions near the surface. Each contributio...
