Topological and spin-orbit effects on orbital moments in ultra-thin magnetic films

Topological orbital moments (TOMs) are a direct hallmark of a magnetic texture with a non-trivial spin topology.

Topological orbital moments (TOMs) are a direct hallmark of a magnetic texture with a non-trivial spin topology. In addition to giving insight into the topology of the magnetic texture, TOMs could also be used to manipulate magnetic structures with a compensated total spin…
