Predominant Nuclear Excitation by Electron Capture Driven by Beam-Induced Return Currents
Y. Y. Xu, J. T. Qi, H. Peng +5
Predicted nearly five decades ago, nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) remains experimentally elusive because its weak resonant signal is obscured by competing electron-d…

Unconventional views on orbitronics supported by experimental results
Melissa Yactayo, A. Pezo, J. L. Ampuero +9
Emerging orbitronics assumes long-range orbital current transport, analogous to spin currents. However, recent theory and experiments challenge this view, showing rather local char…
