This orbital current can be efficiently injected into an adjacent nonmagnetic material (NM) without being hampered by electrical conductivity mismatch. However, experimentally identifying this novel effect presents significant challenges due to the substantial background contributions from spin pumping and spin rectification effects (SREs). In this work, we disentangle the effects of orbital pumping from spin pumping in bilayer structures composed of Nb/Ni and Nb/Fe 60 Co 20 B 20 by observing a sign reversal of the measured voltage. This reversal arises from the competing signs of the spin and orbital Hall effects in the Nb. We establish methods to differentiate the pumping signal from SREs by analyzing the distinct angular dependence of the measured voltage and its spatial dependence relative to the radio frequency excitation source.
