Which side of the diode is the anode and which is the cathode? Do you have a method that allows you to easily remember the correct side? The anode and cathode are noted on the symbol. A is for anode; ...

Cathode and Anode: These terms are widely used in electrolysis and electrochemical systems. Understanding them is important, as their charges vary based on the system and reaction they are involved in ...

Abstract: Magnetically insulated coaxial diodes (MICDs) based on explosive emission cathodes have been widely employed in O-type high power microwaves (HPM) devices. The dynamics of expanding cathode ...

Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...

A recent forum post reminded me of a common issue we see here at Screaming Circuits – ambiguous diode polarity marking. To start with, some diode manufactures mess with our heads where polarity ...

Abstract: Summary form only given. In a cylindrical pinched-beam ion diode 1 the electron beam focuses to a tight spot on the axis at the center of the anode and passes through the thin anode foil ...

I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow from the cathode—back ...

A new approach to elucidate the operation and control of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells is being developed. A global reactor engineering approach is applied to PEM fuel cells to ...
