Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

Organic light-emitting and photovoltaic diodes are attractive optoelectronic devices with organic semiconductors as the main component. Whereas the transport properties in the drift regime of such ...

Modern electronics have been reaping the benefits of cheap, compact semiconductor lasers for years now. From the revolutions in CD and DVD optical data storage, through seemingly simple devices like ...

We might tend to take the word “diode” for granted if we’re thinking of a “diode” as just a two-lead or two-terminal device that gets used in this or that place for this or that purpose. It can become ...

How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based on temperature gradient. The process by which this material was discovered and enhanced. The possible applications of this device ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...
