Fig. 2. The orbital magnetic moments of the Bloch electrons.

Fig. 2

a The orbital magnetic moments carried by the Bloch electrons in the mini-Brillouin zone with no strain. b The orbital magnetic moments of the electrons when a uniaxial strain characterized by ε=0.1% is introduced. The staggered potential is set to be Δ=17 meV in both cases. In b, C3 symmetry is broken and the Brillouin zone is deformed.
