The spin and orbital Edelstein effect have proved promising phenomenons to generate spin and orbital polarization from a charge current in systems without inversion symmetry [1-5]. The present work studies the current-induced spin and orbital magnetization in a SrTiO3/LaAlO3 interface with a tight-binding model and the semiclassical Boltzmann theory. We studied a monolayer, a pseudo-monolayer, and a bilayer system for the STO to replicate experimental data from ARPES. For the bilayer model [6], we compare the orbital effect from the atomic-centered approximation (ACA) and the modern theory of orbital magnetization (MTOM)[7]. We found that the orbital Edelstein effect from ACA is larger than the spin Edelstein effect [5] and the orbital effect from MTOM. This difference between ACA and MTOM shows the relevance of the modern theory for heterostructure systems.
