Explore the emerging field of orbitronics in this comprehensive seminar that examines how nonequilibrium orbital angular momentum can be manipulated and transported for next-generation electronic devices. Learn about the fundamental physical principles underlying orbitronics, including the dynamical generation of orbital angular momentum, intrinsic orbital Hall transport, and the complex interplay between orbital properties and magnetism. Discover how recent theoretical predictions have overturned the long-held belief that orbital information is quenched in crystals, revealing that in nonequilibrium conditions, orbital degrees of freedom become active and can be dynamically generated, transported, and coupled to magnetic orders. Examine groundbreaking phenomena such as the orbital Hall effect, orbital-spin conversion, orbital magnetoresistance, orbital torque, orbital pumping, terahertz emission via ultrafast orbital transport, and dynamic orbital responses. Gain insights into the key mechanisms that enable the manipulation of orbitally polarized electrons and understand how these discoveries are opening new pathways for spintronic and electronic device applications. Delve into the opportunities and challenges facing this rapidly developing field while exploring promising directions for future research in condensed matter physics and quantum materials.
