Spinon vs Orbiton - What's the difference?
spinon | orbiton | see also |
(physics) One of three kinds of quasiparticle (the others being the holon and orbiton) that electrons in solids are able to split into during the process of spin–charge separation, when extremely tightly confined at temperatures close to absolute zero.
(physics) A quasiparticle, corresponding to the orbital energy of an electron, which can result from an electron apparently ‘splitting’ under certain conditions.

In physics terms the difference between spinon and orbiton
is that spinon is one of three kinds of quasiparticle (the others being the holon and orbiton) that electrons in solids are able to split into during the process of spin–charge separation, when extremely tightly confined at temperatures close to absolute zero while orbiton is a quasiparticle, corresponding to the orbital energy of an electron, which can result from an electron apparently ‘splitting’ under certain conditions.spinon
