Additionally, it is possible to distinguish angular momentum stored in the orbital motion vs. in the spin of the electrons when the respective absorption spectra are analyzed. Via this detailed X ...

One possibility is spintronics, which uses the electron’s spin rather than its charge, but more recently another alternative has emerged that could be even more promising. Known as orbitronics, it ...

The larger the orbital angular momentum, the longer the vortex takes to spin around. Interestingly, the observation of the vortex dynamics can also be used to distinguish the helicity of the light ...

An experiment shows, for the first time, that a wave property of neutrons, Orbital Angular Momentum ... "Before, we could only study the spin, path and energy degrees of freedom of chiral ...

Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or ... as the “conservation of angular momentum.” But how can you try ...

However, the electron also possesses an “orbital angular momentum” that could potentially provide the orbital counterpart to spin current—orbital current—and enable new developments in ...

It's almost always the last topic in the first semester of introductory physics—angular momentum. Best for last, or something? I've used this concept to describe everything from fidget spinners ...

After exhausting the available physical dimensions for multiplexed holography, researchers have found new opportunities in the orbital angular momentum (OAM) dimension of light. By sampling ...
