Abstract
Symmetry breaking phenomena in superconductors is a fascinating field of study. Here we report the observation of Terahertz second harmonic generation (T-SHG) from Nb3Sn superconductor. T-SHG can be used as a tool to detect symmetry breaking inside superconducting fluid. Conventionally SHG cannot be observed in superconductors with inversion symmetry. Here we perturb superconducting fluid using Terahertz electromagnetic radiation and break the inversion symmetry to generate T-SHG.
