Theory of Orbital Magnetic Quadrupole Moment and Nonlinear Anomalous Thermoelectric Transport

arXiv:1803.06726 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.98.060402

Abstract

We present a microscopic theory of the magnetic quadrupole moment density in periodic crystals with combined time reversal () and inversion () symmetry. We obtain a gauge-invariant expression with clear physical interpretation and demonstrate the typical behaviour of in a minimal two-band model that hosts a tilted Dirac cone. We then show that leads to an intrinsic nonlinear anomalous thermoelectric current. As an example, we calculate the nonlinear Nernst and Hall current in the loop-current model for cuprate superconductors, and demonstrate their unique behaviour and capability of indicating -invariance.
