First-principles theory of orbital magnetization

Within density-functional theory we compute the orbital magnetization for periodic systems evaluating a recently discovered Berry-phase formula. For the ferromagnetic metals Fe, Co, and Ni we explicitly calculate the contribution of the interstitial regions neglected so far in literature. We also us...
