When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

A physicist has made the best ever p-n junction diode from a carbon nanotube. The current-voltage characteristics of the device exhibit an "ideality factor" of one, which is the maximum possible value ...

My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) diodes have already penetrated the quickly expanding solar inverter market, particularly in Europe. Cree's 1200V SiC Schottky diodes are being used in place of their silicon (Si) ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a ...

Diodes allow directed flows of current. Without them, modern electronics would be inconceivable. Until now, they had to be made out of two materials with different characteristics. A research team at ...

The first ever “optical” diodes made from the 2D material Ti 3 C 2 and fullerene (or carbon-60) retain their saturable absorption (or increased light transmission at higher laser powers) even after ...
