The superconducting diode effect

M Nadeem, MS Fuhrer, X Wang - Nature Reviews Physics, 2023 - nature.com
A superconducting diode enables supercurrent to flow in only one direction, providing new
functionalities for superconducting circuits. In recent years, there has been experimental …

Supercurrent diode effect and finite-momentum superconductors

NFQ Yuan, L Fu - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022 - pnas.org
When both inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken, the critical current of a
superconductor can be nonreciprocal. In this work, we show that, in certain classes of two …

Intrinsic superconducting diode effect

A Daido, Y Ikeda, Y Yanase - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Stimulated by the recent experiment [F. Ando, Nature (London) 584, 373 (2020). NATUAS
0028-0836 10.1038/s41586-020-2590-4], we propose an intrinsic mechanism to cause the …

Josephson diode effect in supercurrent interferometers

RS Souto, M Leijnse, C Schrade - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
A Josephson diode is a nonreciprocal circuit element that supports a larger dissipationless
supercurrent in one direction than in the other. In this Letter, we propose a class of …

A phenomenological theory of superconductor diodes

JJ He, Y Tanaka, N Nagaosa - New Journal of Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Nonreciprocal responses in noncentrosymmetric systems contain a broad range of
phenomena. Especially, non-dissipative and coherent nonreciprocal transport in solids is an …

Universal Josephson diode effect

M Davydova, S Prembabu, L Fu - Science advances, 2022 - science.org
We propose a universal mechanism for the Josephson diode effect in short Josephson
junctions. The proposed mechanism is due to finite Cooper pair momentum and is a …

Sign reversal of the Josephson inductance magnetochiral anisotropy and 0–π-like transitions in supercurrent diodes

A Costa, C Baumgartner, S Reinhardt, J Berger… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The recent discovery of the intrinsic supercurrent diode effect, and its prompt observation in
a rich variety of systems, has shown that non-reciprocal supercurrents naturally emerge …

Gate-tunable Josephson diode in proximitized InAs supercurrent interferometers

C Ciaccia, R Haller, ACC Drachmann… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
The Josephson diode (JD) is a nonreciprocal circuit element that supports a larger critical
current in one direction compared to the other. This effect has gained growing interest …

Colloquium: Spin-orbit effects in superconducting hybrid structures

M Amundsen, J Linder, JWA Robinson, I Žutić… - Reviews of Modern …, 2024 - APS
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …
