Superconducting diode effect in the Weyl semimetal -MoTe that has a surface modulated by Al nanoparticles.

Breaking both inversion and time reversal symmetry could lead to nonreciprocal current transport in a superconductor, where current is dissipationless in one direction and dissipative in the opposite direction, which is called the superconducting diode effect (SDE). We studied SDE in the type-II Weyl semimetal -MoTe that is covered with Al nanoparticles. Asymmetric - characteristics have been measured under a magnetic field.
