Air flow across the sensor diode then results in a voltage difference between the two ends of the meter causing it to deflect. The marked (*) 1N4148 diode should be exposed to the same air as the ...

Thermal diodes, much like their electrical counterparts, provide unidirectional heat transfer, allowing heat to flow in one direction while blocking it in the reverse.

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.

Thermal diode is one of the key elements for heat flow controlling. Similar to the current rectification effect of electronic diodes, heat flow is easily directed through one direction in a ...

A sophisticated halide material can go from diode to non-diode and back depending on the temperature differential across its terminals. How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material ...

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 ...
