abstract = {While the spin-spiral approach is a powerful method to
calculate the exchange constants of realistic materials
within density functional theory, it has the drawback that
it does not explicitly express the exchange constants in
terms of the electronic structure. In this talk we discuss
how to express the exchange constants in terms of electronic
structure properties, such as the mixed Berry curvature and
the mixed quantum metric, which describe the geometrical
properties of the electronic structure in mixed phase space
[1]. While the mixed Berry curvature [2,3,4] plays a central
role in the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction the symmetric
exchange interaction involves additionally the quantum
metric in mixed phase space [1]. Our expressions for the
exchange constants bear a strong formal resemblance to
Fukuyama's theory [5] of the orbital magnetic
susceptibility, which can be expressed in terms of
geometrical quantities as well [6]. In contrast to the
spin-spiral approach, our formalism expresses the exchange
constants directly in terms of the electronic structure
information, which allows us to study the relationship to
other effects and phenomena important in spintronics. For
example, spin-transfer torque and spin-orbit torque [7,8]
can be interpreted as nonequilibrium exchange interaction
and nonequilibrium magnetic anisotropy. Consequently, the
spin-orbit torque is given by the mixed Berry curvature. In
first order of the spin-orbit interaction the
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is related to the
ground-state spin current [9]. Thus, spin-currents excited
by light are expected to lead to nonequilibrium
