Esaki diodes, also known as tunnel diodes, are named after Leo Esaki, who invented them in 1957. They are characterized by their ability to exhibit negative resistance due to quantum tunneling, allowing them to conduct in reverse bias. This property makes them useful in high-frequency applications and oscillators. Esaki's work on these diodes earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1973.
