Overview Spintronic diodes allow the current to flow in only one direction. Each diode only turns clockwise, but it can be used to allow counterclockwise current by placing it on t he outside of a chain loop. Detailed description The ratchet mechanism on top allows only clockwise movement and requires a forward voltage of approximately 0.7 V. The reverse breakdown voltage is well above the rated maximum voltage of the chain. Note that only one spintronic diode is required to build a half-wave rectifier and only two are necessary to build a full-wave rectifier. Show more
