abstract

Conversion of charge to orbital angular momentum through the orbital Hall effect (OHE) holds transformative potential for the development of orbital-based electronics, however, it is challenging to directly observe the electrically generated orbital accumulation. Here, we detect the OHE by directly quantifying the orbital accumulation along the edges of a titanium thin film using a scanning transmission electron microscope. We measure the Ti L-edge using electron energy-loss spectroscopy with nanometer resolution and find a sizable orbital accumulation at the sample's outer perimeters, consistent with all signatures expected for the OHE, and determine an orbital diffusion length $\ell_o \approx 7.3$ nm. Our data points to a surprising dependence of the orbital diffusion length on the nano-structural morphology.

    cond-mat.mtrl-sci 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    CoO/Cu* shows >50-fold larger orbital Hall magnetoresistance than CoO/Pt, with opposite sign, from direct coupling of dynamic orbital current to unquenched orbital moments in CoO.

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Spin waves in honeycomb ferromagnets can imprint and steer electronic orbital magnetism, with signatures depending on magnon mode, DMI, Kitaev interaction, and magnetic field.
