abstract = {The emerging field of orbitronics exploits the electron
orbital momentum L. Compared to spin-polarized electrons, L
may allow the transfer of magnetic information with
considerably higher density over longer distances in more
materials. However, direct experimental observation of L
currents, their extended propagation lengths and their
conversion into charge currents has remained challenging.
Here, we optically trigger ultrafast angular-momentum
transport in Ni|W|SiO2 thin-film stacks. The resulting
terahertz charge-current bursts exhibit a marked delay and
width that grow linearly with the W thickness. We
consistently ascribe these observations to a ballistic L
current from Ni through W with a giant decay length
(~80 nm) and low velocity (~0.1 nm fs−1). At the
W/SiO2 interface, the L flow is efficiently converted into a
charge current by the inverse orbital Rashba–Edelstein
effect, consistent with ab initio calculations. Our findings
establish orbitronic materials with long-distance ballistic
L transport as possible candidates for future ultrafast
devices and an approach to discriminate Hall-like and
Rashba–Edelstein-like conversion processes.},
