The equations obtained have been compared with experimental d.c. reverse characteristics of the copper oxide, selenium and germanium rectifiers, assuming in each case, first, that a Mott barrier is ...

Over the course of more than six decades, Mr. Lidow transformed International Rectifier from a start-up company that developed selenium photoelectric cells and selenium rectifiers into a world ...

Bending a selenium rectifier disk causes a temporary increase of the current flowing through it in both directions. The effect (discovered in December 1942) is especially pronounced in the reverse ...
