The orbital contribution to the magnetization is often quenched by the crystal field which is why it is typically significantly smaller than the spin contribution, in equilibrium. In this talk, I will present the generation of a large orbital magnetization and orbital currents.
In non-collinear spin textures, crystal symmetries are broken and the quenching is lifted. In topologically non-trivial skyrmion crystals, for example, the emergent field forces electrons on orbital trajectories which leads to the generation of a considerable orbital magnetization [1]. Likewise, an orbital Hall effect with orbital edge states arises in non-magnetic Kagome nanoribbons [2]. In two-dimensional electron gases (2deg), e.g. at the interface of STO/AlO [3,4] or KTO/AlO [5], the inversion symmetry is broken so that an (inverse) Edelstein effect arises. The application of a charge current leads to the generation of spin and orbital magnetization densities and vice versa.
