rth compound neodymium nitride (NdN). This breakthrough, published in ACS Nano, finds that single-crystalline thin films of NdN exhibit ferromagnetism driven by the orbital angular momentum of electrons, not just their spin—a paradigm shift from established magnetic behaviour. This "orbitronics" discovery could lead to the development of faster, more energy-efficient magnetic, quantum, and spintronic devices. By tuning both spin and orbital mo...
