Supercurrent rectification and magnetochiral effects in symmetric Josephson junctions
Transport is non-reciprocal 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 …

Supercurrent diode effect and finite-momentum superconductors
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 …
