Piezoelectric effect and diode effect in anapole and monopole superconductors

Superconductivity 2023-06-28 v1

Abstract

Superconductors lacking both inversion symmetry and time-reversal symmetry have been attracting much attention as a platform for exotic superconducting phases and anomalous phenomena, including the superconducting diode effect. Recent studies revealed intrinsic phases with this symmetry, named anapole superconductivity and monopole superconductivity, which are PTPT-symmetric superconducting states with and without Cooper pairs' total momentum, respectively. To explore characteristic phenomena in these states, we calculate and predict the superconducting piezoelectric effect and superconducting diode effect. A close relationship with the finite-qq pairing, asymmetric Bogoliubov spectrum, and quantum geometry is discussed. This study reveals the piezoelectric and diode effects as potential probes to elucidate exotic superconducting phases.
