Description

If an interaction leading to spontaneous breaking of the reflectional symmetry exists in a metal, the critical current in a long superconducting sample of this metal in a longitudinal magnetic field may be different for parallel and antiparallel orientations of the current and the field. The difference is linear in the magnetic field and has a specific temperature dependence
