The phonon magnetochiral effect (MChE) is the nonreciprocal acoustic and thermal transports of phonons caused by the simultaneous breaking of the mirror and time-reversal symmetries. So far, the phonon MChE has been observed only in a…
The phonon magnetochiral effect consists of a nonreciprocity in the velocity or attenuation of acoustic waves when they propagate parallel and antiparallel to an external magnetic field. The first experimental observation of this effect has…
Nonreciprocal resistance, depending on both directions of current ($j$) and magnetic-field ($H$) or magnetization ($M$), is generally expected to emerge in a chiral conductor, and be maximized for $j$ $\parallel$ $H$($M$). This phenomenon,…

Phonons and magnons are engineered by periodic potential landscapes in phononic and magnonic crystals, and their combined studies may enable valley phonon transport tunable by the magnetic field. Through nonreciprocal surface acoustic wave…
