A special type of diode made from a crystalline material whose layers are just three atoms thick has been successfully realized for the first time. The superior properties of such ultra-thin crystals ...

The proof-of-concept uses a van der Waals heterostructure with 2D materials: NbSe 2 – Nb 3 Br 8 – NbSe 2, and is superconducting on one direction, and normally-conducting in the other. Compared with ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...
