Light beams with an azimuthal phase dependency of $e^{i\ell\phi}$ have helical phase fronts and thus carry orbital angular momentum (OAM), a strictly conserved quantity with propagation. Here, we engineer quasi three-dimensional (3D)…

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…
