Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...

Australian semiconductor developer BluGlass has successfully demonstrated working tunnel junction laser diodes in a world-first proof-of-concept using its proprietary remote plasma chemical vapour ...

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 ...

We performed experiments on a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) in the structure Si (substrate)/PtMn (15 nm)/CoFe (2.5 nm)/Ru (0.85 nm)/CoFeB (3 nm)/MgO (0.85 nm)/CoFeB (3 nm); see Fig. 1a. This ...

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

There are 8 different types of diodes that are available for use in electronics design. The various types of diodes enable different kinds of application specifications to be met. As a result of the ...

Technological advances in the electronics industry have resulted in our digital cameras, computers, and cell phones drastically reducing in size. In order to maintain this momentum, there is a strong ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...
