Theory of the Supercurrent Diode Effect in Rashba Superconductors with Arbitrary Disorder

S. Ilic et al.

Summary: In this study, we calculate the nonreciprocal critical current and quantify the supercurrent diode effect in twodimensional Rashba superconductors with arbitrary disorder, using the quasiclassical Eilenberger equation. The results show that even in the presence of strong disorder, the effect persists, and the sign of the diode effect changes as magnetic field and disorder are increased.

Supercurrent diode effect and finite-momentum superconductors

Noah F. Q. Yuan et al.

Summary: When both inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken, the critical current of a superconductor can be nonreciprocal. In this work, it is shown that in certain classes of two-dimensional superconductors with antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling, Cooper pairs acquire a finite momentum upon the application of an in-plane magnetic field, resulting in unequal critical currents in the direction parallel and antiparallel to the Cooper pair momentum. This supercurrent diode effect is also observed in the polarity dependence of in-plane critical fields induced by a supercurrent. These nonreciprocal effects can be found in polar SrTiO3 film, few-layer MoTe2 in the Td phase, and twisted bilayer graphene where the valley degree of freedom plays a role analogous to spin.

Theory of zero-field superconducting diode effect in twisted trilayer graphene

Harley D. Scammell et al.

Summary: In this study, the superconducting phase in a heterostructure of mirror-symmetric twisted trilayer graphene and WSe2 was found to exhibit a zero-field superconducting diode effect, which has been investigated and explained with a microscopic theory. The findings not only contribute to the understanding of the physics of trilayer graphene on WSe2, but also provide guidance for future experiments in spin-orbit-coupled graphene moire systems.

Zero-field polarity-reversible Josephson supercurrent diodes enabled by a proximity-magnetized Pt barrier

Kun-Rok Jeon et al.

Summary: Researchers have reported a zero-field polarity-switchable Josephson supercurrent diode, in which a proximity-magnetized Pt layer by ferrimagnetic insulating Y3Fe5O12 serves as the Rashba-type Josephson barrier, achieving high-efficiency zero-field rectification effect. The study demonstrates that exchange spin-splitting and Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling at the Pt/Y3Fe5O12 interface are crucial for the zero-field giant rectification efficiency.

Zero-field superconducting diode effect in small-twist-angle trilayer graphene

Jiang-Xiazi Lin et al.

Summary: A superconducting diode effect is observed in twisted trilayer graphene at zero magnetic field, indicating the coexistence of superconductivity and time-reversal symmetry breaking. This non-reciprocal behavior can be controlled by adjusting carrier density, twist angle, or applying a magnetic field.

Josephson diode effect from Cooper pair momentum in a topological semimetal

Banabir Pal et al.

Summary: This study reports the discovery of a giant Josephson diode effect in Josephson junctions formed from a type-II Dirac semimetal, NiTe2. The distinguishing feature of this effect is the asymmetry in the critical current, which depends on the magnitude and direction of an applied magnetic field and achieves its maximum value when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the current and is of the order of just 10 mT. These characteristic features can be explained by a model based on finite-momentum Cooper pairing that largely originates from the Zeeman shift of spin-helical topological surface states.

Universal Josephson diode effect

Margarita Davydova et al.

Summary: We propose a universal mechanism for the Josephson diode effect in short Josephson junctions, which arises from finite Cooper pair momentum and simultaneous breaking of inversion and time-reversal symmetries. The diode efficiency is up to 40% with an asymmetry between the critical currents in opposite directions of approximately 230%. The mechanism is explained by the Doppler shift of the Andreev bound state energies and the phase-independent asymmetric current from the continuum. We also introduce a simple scheme for achieving finite-momentum pairing without relying on spin-orbit coupling, expanding the platforms for observing supercurrent diode effects.

Josephson Diode Effect in High-Mobility InSb Nanoflags

Bianca Turini et al.

Summary: We report nonreciprocal dissipation-less transport in single ballistic InSb nanoflag Josephson junctions. An inequality in supercurrent for the two opposite current propagation directions is observed by applying an in-plane magnetic field, indicating that these devices can function as Josephson diodes. The supercurrent asymmetry increases linearly with external field for small fields, saturates as the Zeeman energy becomes relevant, and then decreases to zero at higher fields. The effect is maximized when the in-plane field is perpendicular to the current vector, suggesting Rashba spin-orbit coupling as the main symmetry-breaking mechanism.

Symmetry conditions for the superconducting diode effect in chiral superconductors

Bastian Zinkl et al.

Summary: In this study, the presence of nonreciprocal critical currents, known as the superconducting diode effect, in chiral superconductors is analyzed within a generalized Ginzburg-Landau framework. After deriving the key symmetry conditions, the basic mechanism is illustrated using two examples: the critical current in a thin film and a Josephson junction. The appearance of spontaneous edge currents and the energy bias for the formation of Josephson vortices play a crucial role in splitting the critical currents running in opposite directions. Ultimately, this study interprets the observed superconducting diode effect in the 3-Kelvin phase of Sr2RuO4 as evidence for spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting phase.
