It works on the principle of gunn effect.
It has three valleys.....
Indium Phosphide diodes are used as high-frequency microwave and millimeter-wave applications due to their high carrier mobility and low noise. These diodes work by allowing current to flow in one direction when a forward bias voltage is applied and blocking current when a reverse bias voltage is applied, making them useful in high-speed communication systems and radar applications.

Unit of diode? It seems irrelevant query
germenium diode contains majority electron as a charge carriers while the silicon diode contains holes as a majority charge cariers,
If the digital multimeter probes were forward biased across a silicon diode and a resistance reading of infinity was observed, it suggests that the diode is not conducting current in the forward direction. This could indicate that the diode may be faulty or damaged.
The main difference between a silicon diode and a germanium diode is the forward voltage drop. Silicon diodes have a higher forward voltage drop (around 0.7V) compared to germanium diodes (around 0.3V). Additionally, silicon diodes have better temperature stability and higher reverse breakdown voltage compared to germanium diodes.
A light emitting diode is a special type of diode made of transparent semiconductor (silicon & germanium are opaque) like aluminum indium gallium phosphide. The selected semiconductor must also have a large enough band gap that when electrons fall into holes photons are emitted.
construction and working of semiconductor laser
It should only read one way
Because of zenar diode working in reveres bais
A diode when forward biased will allow the flow of current while reverse biasing will cut off the flow of current. It is the basic building block of any semiconductor.
when electron is excited from valence band to conduction band
LED stands for light emitting diode. If it is polarized correctly, and working correctly, it will be emitting light. If it is burnt out, or voltage has been applied backwards to it, it will not.
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
It is an electronic's device which allow the passes of current in unidirection or only dc.It is used to convert ac to dc.
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
The read type diode are called impatt diode
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
