Author(s): Dong Hui Han, Suk Bum Chung, and Se Kwon KimThe authors propose here a route to the superconducting diode effect through nonreciprocal magnetic domain-wall dynamics in ferromagnetic superconductors. Applied magnetic fields break time-reversal and inversion symmetries, producing direction-dependent critical currents for Walker breakdown—the onset of sustained domain-wall precession. Owing to the order parameter redundancy, the precession generates nonsingular phase slips. By connecting magnetic dynamics with superconducting transport, the authors identify a mechanism for realizing the superconducting diode effect without the need for complex heterostructures. [Phys.
