Orbital currents in transition metals decay within a few atomic layers after injection and partially convert to spin currents with spin-orbit coupling, differing from spin current behavior.
In the first case, we achieve total orbital polarization of apstate⟨L⟩=ℏ, though only when simultaneously tuning the Fermi energy to 26.8 Ryd lower than normal
