Increasing demand for computational power has initiated the hunt for energy efficient and stable memory devices. This is the overarching motivation behind the recent rise of \textit{orbitronics}, which looks to harness the orbital angular momentum of charge carriers in computing devices. Orbitronic devices require materials with efficient generation of orbital angular momentum (OAM). In 2D materials, OAM can be electrically generated via the orbital magneto-electric effect (OME). In this paper we report the calculation of the OME in 2 dimensional hole gases (2DHGs). We show that the OME in Ge holes is very large, for an applied electric field of the order $10^4$ V$/$m the OAM density is of the order $10^{12}$ $\hbar/$cm$^{2}$. Furthermore, we find the OME to be an order of magnitude larger than the Rashba-Edelstein effect in 2DHGs. The OME we calculated in 2DHGs generates OAM aligned in the plane and arises due to transitions between heavy and light hole states, which is unique to this system. Our results put Ge, as well as other p-type semiconductors, forward as strong candidates for building future orbitronic devices.
Giant Intrinsic Spin and Orbital Hall Effects in Sr2MO4 (M=Ru,Rh,Mo)
通过研究金属d电子体系中Sr 2 MO 4(M=Ru,Rh,Mo)的t_{2g}轨道紧束缚模型,研究了金属d电子体系的本征自旋霍尔电导(SHC)和d轨道霍尔电导(OHC).所得到的电导率比空穴掺杂5%的p型半导体的预测值大一到两个数量级。这些巨大的霍尔效应的起源是"有效Aharonov-Bohm相位“,这是由d原子角动量与自旋轨道相互作用和轨道间跳跃积分引起的。这种机制产生的巨大的SHC和OHC有望普遍存在于多轨道过渡金属配合物中,这为实现自旋电子学和轨道电子学器件提供了可能性。

Pyroelectric Control of Spin Polarization Assisted Coexistence of Giant Positive and Negative Magnetocaloric Effects
磁的电场控制是许多下一代自旋电子学应用的关键。铁电控制自旋极化2,3,随后在没有施加磁场的情况下电驱动可重复磁化反转4已被证明是该方向的里程碑。这篇文章提出了如何利用这些现象可以在一个相反的方式获得控制磁化,即使在没有电场。反过来,当受到不同的外加磁场作用时,三层结构的PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3-CoFe 2 O 4-PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3(PZT/CFO/PZT)纳米结构在相同的温度范围内同时表现出正磁热效应和负磁热效应.与传统的方法5 -9不同,本研究表明,仅通过磁热电耦合就可以获得巨型MCE。因此,发现使用麦克斯韦方程组计算的MCE熵变与现有巨型MCE值的报告一样大6,9,10。
