Abstract
The superconducting diode effect (SDE), where zero-resistance states appear
nonreciprocally during current injection, is receiving tremendous interest in
both fundamental and applied physics because the SDE is a novel manifestation
of symmetry breaking and enables the creation of a novel diode without energy
loss. In particular, magnetic-field-free SDEs have been extensively
investigated because of their potential to serve as building blocks for
superconducting circuit technology. In this letter, we report the field-free
SDE in a layered superconductor, FeSe. Its underlying physics is clarified by
systematic controlled experiments to be an interplay of a large thermoelectric
response and geometrical asymmetry in FeSe. Our findings can pave a new avenue
for the construction of novel material and device platforms utilizing SDEs.
