Symmetry conditions for the superconducting diode effect in chiral superconductors

We analyze the presence of nonreciprocal critical currents, the so-called superconducting diode effect, in chiral superconductors within a generalized Ginzburg-Landau framework. After deriving its key symmetry conditions we illustrate the basic mechanism for two examples, the critical current in a t...
