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 ...

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 ...

Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are used to clamp transient voltages to prevent other components from being damaged. Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are used to clamp transient ...

A special type of diode made from a crystalline material whose layers are just three atoms thick has been successfully realized for the first time. The superior properties of such ultra-thin crystals ...

(Nanowerk News) Photonics researchers at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have achieved the extra-ordinary by creating a diode consisting of light that can be used, for the first time, in ...

This technical article gives you information on the advantages of Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes over Silicon Rectifiers and how Silicon Rectifiers can compete with SiC Diodes. It also explains why ...

Power diodes are a necessary component of all electronics, and are made of a semiconductor material — in most cases silicon — that conduct electrons in one direction. Transphorm’s power diodes are ...
