In analogy to conventional semiconductor diodes, the Josephson diode exhibits superconducting properties that are asymmetric in applied bias. The effect has been investigated in number of systems recently, and requires a combination of…

In the presence of an external magnetic field Cooper pairs in noncentrosymmetric superconductors can acquire finite momentum. Recent theory predicts that such finite-momentum pairing can lead to an asymmetric critical current, where a…

Josephson junctions (JJs), where both time-reversal and inversion symmetry are broken, exhibit a phase shift $\phi_0$ in their current-phase relation. This allows for an anomalous supercurrent to flow in the junction even in the absence of…

The superconducting diode effect, reminiscent of the unidirectional charge transport in semiconductor diodes, is characterized by a nonreciprocal, dissipationless flow of Cooper pairs. This remarkable phenomenon arises from the interplay…

The superconducting diode effect is an asymmetry in the critical current with respect to the supercurrent polarity. One impetus driving recent interest in the effect is its dependence on intrinsic or microscopic symmetry breaking…
