Abstract: The electron inside a material possesses the orbital degree of freedom originating from the valence orbitals of constituent atoms, which does not exist for the electron in vacuum. However, it has been assumed that the orbital degree of freedom is “frozen” such that it cannot be easily manipulated. Nonetheless, theories predicted the existence of the flow of electrons with finite orbital angular momentum (OAM), which seem to contradict the quenching of the OAM in the ground state. Despite the widespread skepticism, we showed… [read more]
