A Shockley diode is a primitive diode identical to a thyristor with it's gate left disconnected.

A Schottky diode is similar to a normal avalanche diode except that it's forward voltage is quite low, and it's switching speed is very high.

How does a Shockley diode work?

A Shockley diode uses a metal-semiconductor junction instead of a p-n semiconductor-semiconductor junction. This results in a device with a much lower forward bias voltage drop and much faster switching times.

What is diode equation?

It is an equation that describes the I-V characteristic of a diode. In other words, how the current depends on the voltage.The Shockley diode equation uses an exponential expression. See the Wikipedia article on "Shockley diode equation" for more details. However, for many practical purposes, it's accurate enough to think of a diode as being "open" in the "forward" direction (no voltage drop), and having a voltage drop of about 0.7 V (in the case of diodes made from silicon) in the "reverse" direction.
