Question
A class of these circuit elements called transferred electron devices are used in oscillators to produce microwaves. Quantum tunneling allows a class of these devices named for Leo Esaki (“eh-SAH-key”) to exhibit negative resistance. Four of these devices are arranged in a diamond shape in a bridge rectifier. These devices have an exponential I-V (“eye-vee”) relationship according to the Shockley equation. Past the breakdown voltage, these devices can conduct in both directions. On circuit diagrams, these devices are represented by a triangle touching a line. For 10 points, name these circuit elements that only let current flow in one direction and come in a “light-emitting” type. ■END■
ANSWER: diodes [accept light-emitting diodes or Gunn diodes or Esaki diodes; prompt on LEDs]
