Basedon standard perturbation theory, we present a full quantum derivationof the formula for the orbital magnetization in periodic systems.The derivation is generally valid for insulators with or withouta Chern number, for metals at zero or finite temperatures,and at weak as well as strong magnetic fields. Theformula is shown to be valid in the presence ofelectron-electron interaction, provided the one-electron energies and wave functions arecalculated self-consistently within the framework of the exact current andspin-density functional theory.
