Abstract

A general expression for the orbital magnetization of a Floquet system is derived. The expression holds for a clean system and is valid for any driving protocol and arbitrary occupation of the bands. The orbital magnetization is shown to be large not only for Chern insulators, but also for anomalous phases where the Chern number does not fully account for the topology. In addition, the orbital magnetization is shown to take significant values both for a thermal equilibrium occupation of the Floquet bands and for occupations determined by a quantum quench from an initial state with zero orbital magnetization. For the latter case, the orbital magnetization is shown to be highly sensitive to van Hove singularities of the Floquet bands.
