Nonreciprocal transport in the superconducting state of the chiral crystal NbGe2

Due to the lack of inversion,mirror or other roto-inversion symmetries,chiral crystals possess a well-defined hand-edness which,when combined with time-reversal symmetry breaking from the application of magnetic fields,can give rise to directional dichroism of the electrical transport phenomena via the magnetochiral anisotropy.In this study,we inves-tigate the nonreciprocal magneto-transport in microdevices of NbGe2,a superconductor with structural chirality.A giant nonreciprocal signal from vortex motions is observed during the superconducting transition,with the ratio of nonrecipro-cal resistance to the normal resistance γ reaching 6×105 T-1·A-1.Interestingly,the intensity can be adjusted and even sign-reversed by varying the current,the temperature,and the crystalline orientation.Our findings illustrate intricate vortex dynamics and offer ways of manipulation on the rectification effect in superconductors with structural chirality.
