Transport is called nonreciprocal when not only the sign, but also the absolute value of the current, depends on the polarity of the applied voltage. It requires simultaneously broken inversion and time-reversal symmetries, e.g., by the…

A state of an excitonic insulator with the electric current is studied. Initially, in the metallic phase, the electrons and holes are assumed to be moving in the opposite directions, so as the electric current exists. This state is…

Josephson weak links in superconductors can be engineered such that the phase difference across the junction is $\pi$ ($\pi$-junction),leading to the reversal of the current. The conditions under which the analogous effect of supercurrent…
