First-principles theory of orbital magnetization

Davide Ceresoli,1 Uwe Gerstmann,2 Ari P. Seitsonen,2 and Francesco Mauri2 1Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139-4307, USA 2IMPMC, CNRS, IPGP, Université Paris 6, Paris 7, 140 rue de Lourmel, F-75015 Paris, France ͑Received 3 February 2010; published 19 February 2010͒ Within density-functional theory we compute the orbital magnetization for periodic systems evaluating a recently discovered Berry-phase formula. For the ferromagnetic metals Fe, Co, and Ni we explicitly calculate the contribution of the interstitial regions neglected so far in literature. We also use the orbital magnetization to compute the paramagnetic resonance g tensor in paramagnetic systems. Here the method can also be applied in cases where linear-response theory fails, e.g., radicals and defects with an orbital-degenerate ground state or those containing heavy atoms.
