attention for their potential applications in superconducting logic circuits, rectification applications and also in the study of fundamental symmetries of the underlying superconducting order parameter. In this talk, I’ll introduce the idea of finite momentum Cooper pairing (FMCP) in systems with strong helical spin-momentum locking and how this can naturally give rise to non-reciprocity in superconducting critical currents namely the Josephson diode effect (JDE). I’ll describe our work establishing the presence of a large JDE due to FMCP in lateral Josephson junctions formed from centrosymmetric van der Waals type-II Dirac semimetals 1T-NiTe<sub>2</sub> and 1T-PtTe<sub>2</sub>. A theoretical analysis based on a Ginzburg-Landau type model suggests that the FMCP introduces a phase difference between the first (Cooper pair) and second (Cooper quartet) harmonic supercurrents, which manifests as the JDE. Measurements of the JDE as a function of the in-plane magnetic field and half-flux quantum oscillations in the JDE are in good agreement with the predictions, indicating the presence of large second harmonic supercurrents in the junction. Surface modifications are shown to strongly enhance the supercurrents in the junction, nearly by a factor of two, indicating the strong contribution of the topological surface states to the supercurrent transport. Overall, 1T systems provide an interesting platform for exploring the interplay of FMCP, JDE and topological superconductivity.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBio: Dr. Pranava Keerthi Sivakumar completed his Bachelors and Masters in Chemistry with a minor in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India in 2017. He then moved to Germany where he completed his Ph.D. at the Martin Luther University in Halle, graduating <em>summa cum laude</em>. During his Ph.D., he worked on studying the electrical transport properties of materials with non-collinear spin textures and unconventional superconductivity due to strong spin-orbit coupling. Most notably during his Ph.D., he uncovered the role of finite momentum pairing induced Josephson diode effect in topological materials with helical spin-momentum. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the NISE department in the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, focusing on the interplay of magnetization dynamics and supercurrent transport in superconductor-ferromagnet heterostructures.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-06-09T08:05:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-06-09T08:05:47", "link_label": "Website", "link_url": "https://www.mpi-halle.mpg.de/NISE/members/152895", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BM 3241", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BM%203241", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr. Pranava Keerthi Sivakumar, Department of Nano-systems from Ions, Spins and Electrons(NISE), Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Halle, Germany", "organizer": "Prof. Dirk Grundler", "contact": "Prof. Dirk Grundler", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121036/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/314/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72077, "title": "IDEAS Lunch : Towards Urban Material Circularity / IDEAS", "slug": "ideas-lunch-towards-urban-material-circularity-ide", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/ideas-lunch-towards-urban-material-circularity-ide", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33370/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33370/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33370/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-23", "end_date": "2026-06-23", "start_time": "12:30:00", "end_time": "14:00:00", "description": "<strong>Towards Urban Material Circularity: Machine Learning for Building Material Composition Estimation and Demolition Forecasting</strong><br>\r\n<strong>IDEAS Lunch</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/h.gao?lang=en\">Han GAO</a> will be the speaker of the day and the title of his presentation is \"Towards Urban Material Circularity: Machine Learning for Building Material Composition Estimation and Demolition Forecasting\".<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe axis Integrated Design, Architecture and Sustainability (IDEAS) is a joint initiative of both the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID) and Laboratory of Architecture and Sustainable Technologies (LAST) of the ENAC School at EPFL.
