However, making single-molecule diodes – the most basic of all electronic elements – has proved to be a difficult task. A single-molecule diode is a two-terminal electronic component that allows ...

Diodes allow directed flows of current. Without them, modern electronics would be inconceivable. Until now, they had to be made out of two materials with different characteristics. A research team ...

Harnessing quantum asymmetry to regulate unidirectional heat flow. The quantum thermal diode, based on the interaction between a qutrit (a quantum system with three stable energy levels) and a ...

2. Experimental setup of the bridging-droplet thermal diode. (a) Photograph of the wicked copper plate possessing an array of wetted micropillars of dimensions 100 × 100 × 600 μm.

Central Semiconductor has created a line novel of zero temperature coefficient current limiting diodes, packaged in DPAK and rated at between 27 and 575mA. Minimum voltages range across 1.5 to 2V – ...

I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow ...

A model of a quantum thermal diode based on a qubit and qutrit. The asymmetric design allows this system to behave as a thermal diode when connected between two thermal baths. Credit: APL Quantum ...
