Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...

Although Fig. 2 is a simple circuit, it has the disadvantage of high forward voltage (V F) when the diode conducts. For example, the typical V F of a Schottky diode is ~0.4V and can result in ...

Left panel, superconducting rectifier circuit used to convert AC currents into DC using four superconducting diodes (blue) connected by superconducting interconnects and one smoothing capacitor (C ...
