Spin angular momentum modulation via spin–orbit interaction in fractional orbital angular momentum beams [PDF]
Light exhibits both spin and orbital angular momentum (SAM and OAM). These two forms of angular momentum remain independent in paraxial fields, but become coupled in confined fields through spin–orbit interactions (SOI).

The angular momentum of vectorial non-paraxial fields and the role of radial charges in orbit-spin coupling [PDF]
Electromagnetic fields carry a linear and an angular momentum, the first being responsible for the existence of the radiation pressure and the second for the transfer of torque from electromagnetic radiation to matter.

The Angular Momentum Dichotomy [PDF]
AbstractIn the context of the formation of spiral galaxies the evolution and distribution of the angular momentum of dark matter halos have been discussed for more than 20 years, especially the idea that the specific angular momentum of the halo can be estimated from the specific angular momentum of its disk (e.g.

Evolution of the Angular Momentum of Molecular Cloud Cores Formed from Filament Fragmentation
The angular momentum of molecular cloud cores plays an important role in the process of star formation. However, the time evolution of the angular momentum of molecular cloud cores is still unclear. In this paper, we perform three-dimensional simulations

Hall Effect at the Focus of an Optical Vortex with Linear Polarization
The tight focusing of an optical vortex with an integer topological charge (TC) and linear polarization was considered. We showed that the longitudinal components of the spin angular momentum (SAM) (it was equal to zero) and orbital angular momentum (OAM)

SWKB for the Angular Momentum [PDF]
It has been recently shown [M. Robnik and L. Salasnich, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen.30, 1719 (1997)] that the WKB series for the quantization of angular momentum L converges to the exact value L2=ℏ2l(l+1), if summed over all orders, and gives the Langer formula L2=ℏ2(l+1/2)2 at the leading order.

A new look at the Dirac quantization condition
The angular momentum of any quantum system should be unambiguously quantized. We show that such a quantization fails for a pure Dirac monopole due to a previously overlooked field angular momentum from the monopole-electric charge system coming from the ...

Angular momentum loss in gravitational scattering, radiation reaction, and the Bondi gauge ambiguity
Recently, Damour computed the radiation reaction on gravitational scattering as the (linear) response to the angular momentum loss which he found to be of O(G2) in the gravitational constant.
