In the past, magnons have proven to mediate thermal transport of spin in various systems (see references in e.g. [1]). We will reveal that the fundamental coupling of the scalar spin chirality, inherent to magnons, to the electronic degrees of freedom in the system can result in the generation of sizeable orbital magnetization and thermal transport of orbital angular momentum. We will demonstrate the emergence of the latter phenomenon of the orbital Nernst effect by referring to the spin-wave Hamiltonian of Kagome ferromagnets and predict that in a wide range of systems the transverse current of orbital angular momentum carried by magnons in response to an applied temperature gradient can overshadow the accompanying spin current [2]. We suggest that the discovered effect fundamentally correlates with the topological Hall effect of fluctuating magnets, and suggest that it can be utilized in magnonic devices for generating magnonic orbital torques.
