Diode update
People have been asking about my diode research status. My diode research is presently on pause while I work on the magnet research. Here are a few unanswered questions -->
Remaining Diode Questions:
- In terms of diodes directly in-parallel, I narrowed the internal diode behavior down to two models. One model predicts the DC voltage produced by 2 diodes in parallel will decrease by half. The other model predicts the DC voltage produced by 2 diodes in parallel will remain the same. The question remains, is the diode rectification limited by kTC noise. If the answer is no, then the 2nd model is correct; e.g., 2 diodes in direct parallel connection will produce the same DC voltage as 1 diode.
- Simply stated, the second model predicts the DC power output produced by a diode is higher in diodes with high zero bias resistance, high bandgap. The first aforementioned model predicts the DC power output produced by a diode is higher in ZBD's (zero bias diodes). If the second model is correct, then for example high performance visible spectrum photo diodes & possibly UV photo diodes could produce a relatively high DC voltage and power. To test such a theory would require a voltage meter with exceptionally high input resistance since such photo diodes typically have zero bias resistance in the giga ohm and higher range.
- Is the DC voltage, across a load, produced by all tested diode arrays due to electrochemical reactions?
Thus far I have built diode arrays in-series, which have always produced a DC voltage across a load for nearly 1.5 years.
