Edelstein effect and supercurrent diode effect

Abstract: We self-consistently calculate the supercurrent diode effect from microscopic models of quasi one- and two-dimensional clean superconductors with spin-orbit coupling under external Zeeman fields, and show that the Edelstein effect is responsible for the supercurrent diode effect. In turn, the supercurrent diode effect may serve as a direct measurement of the Edelstein effect as its application.
