Researchers find way to form diodes from superconductors

May 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A group of researchers from Pisa, Jyväskylä, San Sebastian and MIT have demonstrated how a heterostructure consisting of superconductors and magnets can be used to create uni-directional current like that found in semiconductor diodes (Nature Communications, "Superconducting spintronic tunnel diode"). These novel superconductor diodes, however,...
