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 ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

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 ...

A brief look at a twenty different diodes, their symbol variations, and a basic description. And yes, we're looking at tubes ...

This video explains how LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) function and why they are widely used in modern lighting and electronic displays. LEDs convert electrical energy into light through the movement of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this paper we carry out an asymptotic analysis of the system of differential equations describing the transient behavior of a p-n-junction ...

In the past few years, the research effort on 2D materials has rapidly increased, driven by the great variety of layered materials and their exceptional properties when reduced to a few atomic layers ...

Solids can be categorised into conductors, semiconductors or insulators by their ability to conduct electricity. Electron band theory explains differences in conduction. Semiconductors can be doped ...
