## Description

- description: Semiconductor diodes rectify electrical current to go in one direction
    only and hold significant technological importance in electronic devices [1].
    On the other hand, supercurrent diodes rectify dissipationless supercurrent [2–4],
    and can serve as key elements of electronic circuits at cryogenic temperatures
    [5, 6]. To unlock such functionality, it is essential to find supercurrent diodes
    that can work consistently not only at zero magnetic field, but also under ubiquitous
    stray fields in a typical circuit environment. However, most of the zero-field
    supercurrent diodes discovered so far need to be initiated by a magnetic field
    [7–12], and the supercurrent rectification can be corrupted frequently by stray
    fields. Here, we demonstrate a stray-field-resilient supercurrent diode by incorporating
    a van der Waals multiferroic NiI2 [13–15] between two superconductors to form
    a Josephson junction. We observe a zero-field supercurrent diode effect with a
    rectification efficiency of eight percent. More importantly, the supercurrent
    rectification persists over a bipolar magnetic field range beyond an industrial
    test standard for field tolerance. By theoretically modeling a multiferroic Josephson
    junction, we unveil that the inter- play between a helimagnetic order and interfacial
    spin-orbit coupling underlies the unusual stray-field-resilient nature of the
    NiI2 Josephson junction. This work introduces multiferroic Josephson junctions
    as a new strategy for stray-field-resilient superconducting devices with potential
    electrical gate tunability for applications in cryogenic electronics.
