Inverse Orbital Hall Effect Discovered from Light-Induced Terahertz Emission
Recent progress in orbitronics reveals the possibility of using orbital
current as an information carrier. The interconversion between orbital currents
and charge currents is crucial for orbital information processing. Although
orbital currents can be created from charge current via the orbital Hall
effect, the conversion from orbital current into charge current has not yet
been discovered experimentally, which is due to the lack of a reliable orbital
current source and disturbance of the omnipresent inverse spin Hall effect. In
this study, we generate ultrafast pulses of orbital current in magnetic
bilayers and trilayers from femtosecond laser pulses. We demonstrate that by
injecting orbital current pulses into nonmagnetic metals, the inverse orbital
Hall effect of the nonmagnetic layer induces a transient charge current and
emits terahertz electromagnetic pulses. The nonmagnetic metal layer acts as a
converter of the orbital current into the charge current. The discovery of the
inverse orbital Hall effect enables detection of orbital currents and opens a
new route for developing future orbitronic devices
Orbitronics: Light-induced Orbit Currents in Terahertz Emission Experiments
Orbitronics is based on the use of orbit currents as information carriers. Up
to now, orbit currents were created from the conversion of charge or spin
currents, and inversely, they could be converted back to charge or spin
currents. Here we demonstrate that orbit currents can also be generated by
femtosecond light pulses on Ni. In multilayers associating Ni with oxides and
nonmagnetic metals such as Cu, we detect the orbit currents by their conversion
into charge currents and the resulting terahertz emission. We show that the
orbit currents extraordinarily predominate the light-induced spin currents in
Ni-based systems, whereas only spin currents can be detected with CoFeB-based
systems. In addition, the analysis of the time delays of the terahertz pulses
leads to relevant information on the velocity and propagation of orbit
carriers. Our finding of light-induced orbit currents and our observation of
their conversion into charge currents opens new avenues in orbitronics,
including the development of orbitronic terahertz devices

A Method for Identifying the Key Performance Shaping Factors to Prevent Human Errors during Oil Tanker Offloading Work
Oil tanker offloading is a human-related and high-risk task. A small operational error may trigger catastrophic accidents such as fire and explosion. It is recognised that more than 70% of industrial accidents are blamed for human errors, so preventing them is crucial. As human error is associated with a variety of Performance Shaping Factors (PSFs), it is meaningful to identify key PSFs for safe operations during oil tanker offloading process. However, some issues are obstacles to finding the crucial PSFs. The recording data of most PSFs are always incomplete and imperfect. Moreover, the standard for ranking PSFs should be rational. In addition, the performance of each PSF at the different stages is oil offloading is usually unstable and may change with time. As a result, this study aims to conduct a method that mainly relies on Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), the definition of “Risk” (combination of likelihood and impact), and Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) to find several significant PSFs to prevent human errors. GRA deals with the incomplete and imperfect data; the definition of “Risk” provides a rational basis for ranking PSFs; and HTA gives support for considering the PSFs’ changes at different stages of a task. The proposed approach is tested on a real engineering case of oil tanker offloading work at offshore terminal. The result indicates that the method can be applied to identify key PSFs, which in turn provides recommendations for human error prevention to ensure the safety both on board and at terminal
