Orbital Hall effect in mesoscopic devices
arXiv:2305.01640 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.108.245105
Abstract
We investigate the orbital Hall effect through a mesoscopic device with momentum-space orbital texture that is connected to four semi-infinite terminals embedded in the Landauer-Büttiker configuration for quantum transport. We present analytical and numerical evidence that the orbital Hall current exhibits mesoscopic fluctuations, which can be interpreted in the framework of random matrix theory (RMT) (as with spin Hall current fluctuations). The mesoscopic fluctuations of orbital Hall current display two different amplitudes of 0.36 and 0.18 for weak and strong spin-orbit coupling, respectively. The amplitudes are obtained by analytical calculation via RMT and are supported by numerical calculations based on the tight-binding model. Furthermore, the orbital Hall current fluctuations lead to two relationships between the orbital Hall angle and conductivity. Finally, we confront the two relations with experimental data of the orbital Hall angle, which shows good concordance between theory and experiment.
