No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
The VI characteristics of PN junction diode when used as a diode rectifier are reverse bias and rectification is shown by an asymmetrical current flow.
Work in reverse bias.(breakdown at a particular voltage to keep the volt. constant so used as voltage regulator) same as diode when forward biased.
because that the tunnel diode is a standard pn junction diode in many respect except its highly doped pn junction so it has some characteristics in the negative resistance region another that its a standard diode
tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode
A thin junction diode which exhibits negative resistance under low forward bias condition is known as tunnel diode.
A thin junction diode which exhibits negative resistance under low forward bias condition is known as tunnel diode.

what is the difference between reverse characteristics of zener diode and a practical diode ?
The Zener diode has the characteristics of a constant voltage source.
Yes, the forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode is usually more than the forward voltage drop of a tunnel diode. A Schottky diode voltage drop is between approximately 0.15 to 0.45 volt. The interesting thing that makes a tunnel diode different from other diodes is its "negative resistance region" with a "peak current" around 0.06 volt and a "valley current" around 0.30 volt.

They are capable of extremely fast operation. They have a current dip in the forward IV characteristics. This creates a negative differential resistance . ANSWER: A tunnel diode has a negative curve dip once it reaches a certain point there fore it will switch back to stable condition if maintained there. while it is fast the valley of transition is not very stable it changes drastically with temperature making the device not desirable for dependable switching. It can however be used for low fast leveling triggering
