The symbol for the esaki diode, also known as the tunnel diode, is similar to the zener diode, except that the two stems on the end of the cathode both point back towards the anode, and they are at 90 degrees instead of 45 degrees.

A diode is a semiconductor electrical component that allows an electric current in only one direction. A tunnel diode, or Esaki diode, is a special type of diode that can operate very quickly using quantum tunneling, allowing it to work even with microwave frequencies (current switching direction billions of times per second).
Esaki Lighthouse was created in 1871.
Esaki Reiji was born in 1845.
Esaki Reiji died in 1910.
Tetsuma Esaki was born in 1943.
Masanori Esaki has written: 'Go Seigen'
Leo Esaki was born on March 12, 1925.

Kazuhito Esaki was born on 1986-10-31.
The same as the standard symbol for a diode but with a lightning bolt shaped arrow pointing away from it added.
A negative resistance region is where the current goes up while the voltage goes down, or vice versa. This is a characteristic of the esaki or tunnel diode, when it is in its tunnel region.
The symbol for a diode is a horizontal line with an arrow pointing to an intersecting vertical line, the horizontal line continues on the other side of the vertical line.
