Orbitronics: light-induced orbital currents in Ni studied by terahertz emission experiments

Abstract Orbitronics is based on the use of orbital currents as information carriers. Orbital currents can be generated from the conversion of charge or spin currents, and inversely, they could be converted back to charge or spin currents. Here we demonstrate that orbital currents can also be genera...
