  We investigate the induced orbital magnetization density in a Rashba electron
gas with magnetic impurities. Relying on classical electrodynamics, we obtain
this quantity through the bound currents composed of a paramagnetic and a
diamagnetic-like contribution which emerge from the spin-orbit interaction.
Similar to Friedel charge ripples, the bound currents and the orbital
magnetization density oscillate as function of distance away from the impurity
with characteristic wavelengths defined by the Fermi energy and the strength of
the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. The net induced orbital magnetization was
found to be of the order of magnitude of its spin counterpart. Besides the
exploration of the impact of the electronic filling of the impurity states, we
investigate and analyze the orbital magnetization induced by an equilateral
frustrated trimer in various non-collinear magnetic states. On the one hand, we
confirm that non-vanishing three-spin chiralities generate a finite orbital
magnetization density. On the other hand, higher order contributions lead to
multiple-spin chiralities affecting non-trivially and significantly the overall
magnitude and sign of the orbital magnetization.
