In the Esaki diode, a type of semiconductor utilizing what is known as the tunnel effect, its magnetoconductance—the current change when an external magnetic field is applied—can be widely tuned, both ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

The discovery of deterministic chaos—the aperiodic deterministic dynamics of a nonlinear system demonstrating sensitivity to initial conditions—has led to a major paradigm shift, overthrowing two ...

Infineon Technologies AG recently launched a 6.5 kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip. Infineon Technologies AG recently launched a 6.5 ...
