Abstract

The question of how the lack of spatial reflection symmetry can affect properties of a superconductor is investigated. A novel magnetoelectric effect is predicted: The supercurrent in a metal of polar symmetry must be accompanied by the spin polarization of the carriers. The relevance to some known pyro- and antipyroelectric superconductors including a high-temperature system as well as the possibility of an experimental verification are briefly discussed.
