Fig. 2: Dependence of NRC on the nanowire length and crystallographic orientation.
From: Diamagnetic mechanism of critical current non-reciprocity in multilayered superconductors
a NRC is plotted for two 2 μm-long wires oriented along [110] and \([1\overline{1}0]\) crystallographic axes. Insets define mutual orientataion of wires and fields. b NRC for 2, 3, and 5 μm wires. The top and bottom curves are shifted vertically by 0.2 μA. Brackets with arrows indicate a maximum ΔB needed to insert a flux ϕ0 = h/2e in the area defined by the corresponding wire lengths, as indicated by a dashed loop in the inset. An effective length for the period marked by a magenta bracket is l = 0.5μm for the same loop.
