Magnetoelectric polarizability: A microscopic perspective

We extend a field theoretic approach for the investigation of the electronic charge-current density response of crystalline systems to arbitrary electromagnetic fields. The approach leads to the introduction of microscopic polarization and magnetization fields, as well as free charge and current den...
