Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1558. 115 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0070-2. Ultrafast dynamical processes in magnetic systems have become the subject of intense research during the last two decades, initiated by the pioneering discovery of femtosecond laser-induced demagnetization in nickel. In this thesis, we develop theory for fast and ultrafast magnetization dynamics. In particular, we build relativistic theory to explain the magnetization dynamics observed at short timescales in pump-probe magneto-optical experiments and compute from first-principles the coherent laser-induced magnetization. In the developed relativistic theory, we start from the fundamental Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation that includes all relativistic effects related to spin and orbital magnetism as well as the magnetic exchange interaction and any external electromagnetic field. As it describes both particle and antiparticle, a separation between them is sought because we focus on low-energy excitations within the particle system. Doing so, we derive the extended Pauli Hamiltonian that captures all relativistic contributions in first order; the most significant one is the full spin- orbit interaction (gauge invariant and Hermitian).

    Adiabatically Induced Orbital Magnetization Cong Xiao, Yafei Ren, and Bangguo Xiong Department of Physics, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA A semiclassical theory for the orbital magnetization due to adiabatic evolutions of Bloch electronic states is proposed. It renders a unified theory for the periodic-evolution pumped orbital magnetiza- tion and the orbital magnetoelectric response in insulators by revealing that these two phenomena are the only instances where the induced magnetization is gauge invariant. This theory also accounts for the electric-field induced intrinsic orbital magnetization in two-dimensional metals and Chern insulators. We illustrate the orbital magnetization pumped by microscopic local rotations of atoms, which correspond to phonon modes with angular momentum, in toy models based on honeycomb lattice, and the results are comparable to the pumped spin magnetization via strong Rashba spin orbit coupling. We also show the vital role of the orbital magnetoelectricity in validating the Mott relation between the intrinsic nonlinear anomalous Hall and Ettingshausen effects. I. INTRODUCTION current in the second Chern form of Berry curvatures. Noticeably, the orbital magnetoelectric effect and the periodic-evolution pumped orbital magnetization emerge Understanding the orbital magnetization in crystalline as the only instances where the induced magnetization is solids is among the most important objectives of orbi- gauge invariant due to the elimination of its explicit time tronics [1{3]. Unlike its spin companion, the orbital mag- dependence.

  • Current-Induced Orbital and Spin Magnetizations in Crystals With
    Current-induced Orbital and Spin Magnetizations in Crystals with Helical Structure Taiki Yoda,1 Takehito Yokoyama,1 and Shuichi Murakami1,2, ∗ 1Department of Physics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo 152-8551, Japan 2TIES, Tokyo Institute of Technology, 2-12-1 Ookayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-8551, Japan (Dated: May 8, 2018) Abstract We theoretically show that in a crystal with a helical lattice structure, orbital and spin magne- tizations along a helical axis are induced by an electric current along the helical axis. We propose a simple tight-binding model for calculations, and the results can be generalized to any helical crystals. The induced magnetizations are opposite for right-handed and left-handed helices. The current-induced spin magnetization along the helical axis comes from a radial spin texture on the Fermi surface. This is in sharp contrast to Rashba systems where the induced spin magnetization is perpendicular to the applied current. arXiv:1507.02828v1 [cond-mat.mes-hall] 10 Jul 2015 ∗ [email protected] 1 Recent discovery of novel physics due to an interplay between electricity and magnetism such as multiferroics [1–4], skyrmion [5–8], and current-induced magnetization reversal [9– 12], makes it possible to control a magnetization with electric field. However, there is a well-known classical example; an electric current flowing through a solenoid induces a magnetization. In this paper, we theoretically propose a condensed-matter analogue of a solenoid. We consider a three-dimensional crystal with a helical lattice structure. For crystals with helical crystal structure such as Se or Te, one can define handedness similar to a solenoid.

Here, we give an overview of the recent advances in dierent sub-disciplines of spintronics that can be associated with the developing field of spin conversion, and discuss future prospects. pin conversion is a generic term for the phenomena associated scattering owing to spin–orbit coupling in non-ferromagnetic heavy with the interconversion between different physical entities— metals consisting of 4d and 5d transition metals, such as palladium, Selectricity, light, sound, vibration and heat—that are mediated tantalum, tungsten and platinum.

MacDonald2 Near a magic twist angle, bilayer graphene transforms from a weakly correlated Fermi liquid to a strongly correlated two-dimensional electron system with properties that are extraordinarily sensitive to carrier density and to controllable envi- ronmental factors such as the proximity of nearby gates and twist-angle variation. Among other phenomena, magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene hosts superconductivity, interaction-induced insulating states, magnetism, electronic nematic- ity, linear-in-temperature low-temperature resistivity and quantized anomalous Hall states. We highlight some key research results in this field, point to important questions that remain open and comment on the place of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene in the strongly correlated quantum matter world. he two-dimensional (2D) materials field can be traced back to zone.

  • Impurity-Induced Orbital Magnetization in a Rashba Electron Gas
    Impurity-induced orbital magnetization in a Rashba electron gas Juba Bouaziz,∗ Manuel dos Santos Dias, Filipe Souza Mendes Guimar~aes,Stefan Bl¨ugel,and Samir Lounis Peter Gr¨unberg Institut and Institute for Advanced Simulation, Forschungszentrum J¨ulichand JARA, 52425 J¨ulich,Germany (Dated: June 7, 2018) Abstract We investigate the induced orbital magnetization density in a Rashba electron gas with mag- netic impurities. Relying on classical electrodynamics, we obtain this quantity through the bound currents composed of a paramagnetic and a diamagnetic-like contribution which emerge from the spin-orbit interaction. Similar to Friedel charge ripples, the bound currents and the orbital mag- netization density oscillate as function of distance away from the impurity with characteristic wavelengths defined by the Fermi energy and the strength of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The net induced orbital magnetization was found to be of the order of magnitude of its spin coun- terpart. Besides the exploration of the impact of the electronic filling of the impurity states, we investigate and analyze the orbital magnetization induced by an equilateral frustrated trimer in various non-collinear magnetic states. On the one hand, we confirm that non-vanishing three- spin chiralities generate a finite orbital magnetization density. On the other hand, higher order contributions lead to multiple-spin chiralities affecting non-trivially and significantly the overall magnitude and sign of the orbital magnetization. arXiv:1806.02158v1 [cond-mat.mes-hall] 6 Jun 2018 1 I.

  • Magnetic Circular Dichroism Versus Orbital Magnetization
    PHYSICAL REVIEW RESEARCH 2, 023139 (2020) Magnetic circular dichroism versus orbital magnetization Raffaele Resta * Istituto Officina dei Materiali IOM-CNR, Strada Costiera 11, 34151 Trieste, Italy and Donostia International Physics Center, 20018 San Sebastián, Spain (Received 13 January 2020; accepted 13 April 2020; published 8 May 2020) The magnetic circular dichroism sum rule yields an extremely useful ground-state observable, which provides a quantitative measure of spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking (T-breaking) in a given material. Here I derive its explicit expression within band structure theory, in the general case: trivial insulators, topological insulators, and metals. Orbital magnetization provides a different measure of T-breaking in the electronic ground state. The two observables belong to the class of “geometrical” observables; both are local and admit a “density” in coordinate space. In both of them, one could include or exclude selected groups of bands in order to acquire element-specific information about the T-breaking material. Only in the case of an isolated flat band do the contributions to the two observables coincide. Finally, I provide the corresponding geometrical formula—in a different Hilbert space—for a many-body interacting system. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.023139 I.
