Diodes are essential semiconductor devices used to control the direction of electrical current in circuits. This tutorial explains how diodes work, their different types, and why they are critical ...

The most widely known modern application for diodes is in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These use a special kind of doping so that when an electron crosses the n-p junction, a photon is emitted, which ...

Electrical diodes, which allow currents to flow in one direction but not the other, are a fundamental component of electronics. Engineers have long sought a comparable device that would direct ...

Package, 1 A and 2 A Devices Offer Low Capacitive Charge and High Minimum Creepage Distance of 3.2 mm MALVERN, Pa., July 09, ...

Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a passive and vital component that restricts current flow to one direction only, while mechanical engineers ...

The diode. Diodes close diode An electrical device that allows current to flow in one direction only. are electronic components that can be used to regulate the voltage in circuits and to make ...

Researchers have found a way to make a key electronic component on a phenomenally tiny scale -- a single-molecule diode. Recently, at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute, N.J. Tao and ...

Molecular Rod Diode. In 2005, researchers from Northwestern University, Evanston designed and developed a molecular rod that contains two weakly coupled electronic π –systems with shifted energy ...

At 3.2 million watts, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory laser diode array is the most powerful ever built, and will form part of an even larger quadrillion watt femtosecond pulsed laser ...
