Examination of Tunnel, Gunn, Impat diodes and other nonlinear semiconductor devices, including NERFETs, Varistors & other 3-terminal devices. Materials, physics, and applications are covered. Despite ...

The electronic diode is a device that allows current to travel in one direction but not the other. That makes them handy things to have around. So handy, in fact, that you’d be hard pressed to find an ...

A team has developed a more energy-efficient, tunable superconducting diode -- a promising component for future electronic devices -- that could help scale up quantum computers for industry and ...

Negative differential resistance, sometimes called negative dynamic resistance (NDR), occurs when an increase in voltage ...

A thermal diode is a two-terminal nonlinear device that rectifies energy carriers (for example, photons, phonons and electrons) in the thermal domain, the heat transfer analogue to the familiar ...

A team of scientists at Simon Fraser University's Quantum Technology Lab and leading Canada-based quantum company Photonic ...

A nanoscale optical device has been developed that allows independent control over the intensity and phase of light. By ...

Designers can take advantage of the latest fabrication techniques for and the expanding array of materials used in nonlinear devices (see “Use Nonlinear Devices As Linchpins To Next-Generation Design, ...
