Diodes are critical components for a broad array of applications, from power conversion equipment, to radios, logic gates, photodetectors and light-emitting devices.

Diodes are components allowing current flow in a single direction around an electrical circuit but not in the other direction. In order that a molecule functions that way, it must be physically ...

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 ...
