Gunn Diode
A Gunn diode, also known as a transferred electron device (TED), is a form of diode, a two-terminal semiconductor electronic component, with negative resistance, used in high-frequency electronics. It is based on the "Gunn effect" discovered in 1962 by physicist J. B. Gunn. Its largest use is in electronic oscillators to generate microwaves, in applications such as radar speed guns, microwave relay data link transmitters, and automatic door openers. Its internal construction is unlike other diodes in that it consists only of N-doped semiconductor material, whereas most diodes consist of both P and N-doped regions. It therefore conducts in both directions and cannot rectify alternating current like other diodes, which is why some sources do not use the term ''diode'' but prefer TED. In the Gunn diode, three regions exist: two of those are heavily N-doped on each terminal, with a thin layer of lightly n-doped material between. When a voltage is applied to the device, the electrical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Clan Gunn
Clan Gunn ( gd, Na Guinnich) is a Highland Scottish clan associated with lands in northeastern Scotland, including Caithness, Sutherland and, arguably, the Orkney Isles. Clan Gunn is one of the oldest Scottish Clans, being descended from the Norse Jarls of Orkney and the Pictish Mormaers of Caithness. History Origins Traditional origins The traditional origin of the Clan Gunn is that the progenitor of the clan was one ''Gunni'' who came to Caithness at the end of the 12th century when his wife, Ragnhild, inherited the estates from her brother, Harald Maddadsson who was the Earl of Orkney. His wife descended from St Ragnvald, who was the founder of the St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney. ''Gunni'', whose name meant ''war'', was allegedly descended from Viking adventurers and his grandfather was ''Sweyn'' who was killed in a raid on Dublin in 1171. Smibert, however, states that the Gunns were of Gaelic origin. Further information on the Norse origins of Clan Gunn can be f ...

65P/Gunn
65P/Gunn is a periodic comet in the Solar System which has a current orbital period of 6.79 years. It was discovered on 11 October 1970 by Professor James E. Gunn of Princeton University using the 122-cm Schmidt telescope at the Palomar Observatory. It had a low brightness of magnitude 16 plus which improves to 12 under favourable conditions. The comet is a short-period comet, orbiting the Sun every 6.79 years inside the main asteroid belt between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. On 4 February 1970 the comet passed from Ceres. In 1972 Elizabeth Roemer managed to observe 65P/Gunn close to aphelion.
