Intrinsic torque on the orbital angular momentum in an electric field
arXiv:2311.12108 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.110.035427
Abstract
Orbitronics harnesses non-equilibrium densities and flows of electrons orbital angular momentum (OAM). Although the OAM must be long lived to be useful in information processing, the mechanisms leading to OAM non-conservation remain unknown. Here we show that an electric field induces an intrinsic torque on the OAM mediated by the quantum metric tensor, without spin-orbit coupling or magnetic fields. The torque vanishes in pseudospin-1/2 systems with particle-hole symmetry but is nonzero in the presence of nontrivial textures. We discuss implications for topological materials and strategies for experimental observation.
