摘要
The recent discovery of intrinsic supercurrent diode effect, and its prompt observation in a rich variety of systems, has shown that nonreciprocal supercurrents naturally emerge when both space- and time-inversion symmetries are broken. In Josephson junctions, nonreciprocal supercurrent can be conveniently described in terms of spin-split Andreev states. Here, we demonstrate a sign reversal of the supercurrent diode effect, in both its AC and DC manifestations. In particular, the AC diode effect -- i.e., the asymmetry of the Josephson inductance as a function of the supercurrent -- allows us to probe the current-phase relation near equilibrium. Using a minimal theoretical model, we can then link the sign reversal of the AC diode effect to the so-called 0-$\pi$-like transition, a predicted, but still elusive feature of multi-channel junctions. Our results demonstrate the potential of inductance measurements as sensitive probes of the fundamental properties of unconventional Josephson junctions.
