Mr. Thierry Valet (CEO at MPhysX OÜ)

Title

Orbitronics 2.0

Abstracts

The past decade has seen orbitronics emerge as a new frontier in condensed matter physics, promising to harness the orbital motion of electrons, much as spintronics exploits their spin. Yet, despite intense activity, the very definition of orbital currents, the microscopic origin of the orbital Hall effect, and orbital edge accumulations have remained unsettled. In this talk, I will present a new quantum kinetic theory that puts these questions on firm ground [1, 2].
