Orbital Edelstein Effect as a Condensed-Matter Analog of Solenoids.
Nano Letters 2018 Februrary 15
We theoretically study current-induced orbital magnetization in a chiral crystal. This phenomenon is an orbital version of the Edelstein effect. We propose an analogy between the current-induced orbital magnetization and an Ampère field in a solenoid in classical electrodynamics. To quantify this effect, we define a dimensionless parameter from the response coefficients relating a current density with an orbital magnetization. This dimensionless parameter can be regarded as a number of turns within a unit cell when the crystal is regarded as a solenoid, and it represents how "chiral" the crystal is. By focusing on the dimensionless parameter, one can design a band structure that realizes the induction of large orbital magnetization. In particular, a Weyl semimetal with all of the Weyl nodes close to the Fermi energy can have a large value for this dimensionless parameter, which can exceed that of a classical solenoid.
