Superconductivity and spin–orbit coupling in non-centrosymmetric materials: a review
In non-centrosymmetric superconductors, where the crystal structure lacks a centre of
inversion, parity is no longer a good quantum number and an electronic antisymmetric spin …

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 …
