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 ...

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 ...

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.

Figure 1 Ideal diode half wave rectification . So far, so good, but look at what can happen when there is storage charge in the diode:. Figure 2 Slow recovery diode half wave rectification . In this ...

Shortly after the body diode is forward-biased, the MOSFET switches on. At this time, the body diode must be turned off and the current must flow through the channel of the device.

The diode. Diodes close diode An electrical device that allows current to flow in one direction only. are electronic components that can be used to regulate the voltage in circuits and to make ...

We show the output capacitor and diode reflected to the primary side of the transformer. The two inductors are in series and are initially carrying the same current when Q1 turns off. That means that ...

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 ...
