As I understand those terms, they apply to the output of a factor analysis,
and I am not aware of that being implemented in R.

You are here in a rather specialised (and not at all widely accepted) area
of statistics, and would be better off using a specialist package. I made a
deliberate decision not to implement factor analysis in R.

Rotation is sometimes applied to the output of a principal components
analysis, but that is even more controversial.
