Two Ising superconductors proximitized by ferromagnetic layers can be used to build a Josephson junction. This setup allows for tunable spin-triplet pairing correlations, letting us control charge and spin supercurrents through the in-plane magnetic exchange fields [1]. Recently, there has been significant interest in the study of the superconducting diode effect. A Josephson diode allows a greater dissipationless supercurrent to flow in one direction compared to the other [2].
Here, we study a new kind of Josephson diode that uses supercurrent interference. It is created through a Josephson junction, incorporating a small non-magnetic barrier with perfect transmission combined with a fully polarized ferromagnetic barrier in the tunneling limit. The superposition of the current-phase relations from these two barriers results in the diode effect in the junction. This unique design attains diode efficiencies of up to 20
