The interplay between magnetism and superconductivity can lead to unconventional proximity and Josephson effects. A related phenomenon that has recently attracted considerable attention is the superconducting diode effect, in which a…

A magnetic field is generally considered to be incompatible with superconductivity as it tends to spin-polarize electrons and breaks apart the opposite-spin singlet superconducting Cooper pairs. Here, an experimental phenomenon is observed…

The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state is an exotic superconducting phase formed by Cooper pairs with finite center-of-mass momentum $q$. On theoretical grounds, the superconducting order parameter in the FFLO state is spatially…

A conventional superconducting state may be replaced by another dissipationless state hosting Cooper pairs with a finite momentum, leaving thermodynamic footprints for such a phase transition. Recently, a novel type of finite momentum…
