The orbital Hall effect (OHE), where an external electric field generates a transverse flow of orbital angular momentum (orbital current), is gathering great attention. Unlike the spin Hall effect, which arises from spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the OHE originates from the orbital hybridization. Since orbital current enables controlling the magnetization, materials with weak SOC are available for spin-orbit torque devices, such as MRAM, a non-volatile memory. In this study, we investigate the OHE in ZnO, which exhibits s-p orbital hybridization and high thermal and chemical stability, by using spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance.
