AbstractThe emerging field of orbitronics aims to generate and control orbital angular momentum for information processing. Chiral crystals are promising orbitronic materials because they have been predicted to host monopole-like orbital textures, where the orbital angular momentum aligns isotropically with the electron’s crystal momentum. However, such monopoles have not yet been directly observed in chiral crystals.
