(electronics) An electronic device that allows current to flow in one direction only; used chiefly as a rectifier..
I propose to give the name diode to a tube with two electrodes.
If a crystal or a diode is used, the amplifier-voltmeter combination may be used with an amplitude-modulated source; or with a c-w source, the detector may be connected to a microammeter or galvanometer as an indicating device.
In this circuit when the diode is forward biased, the voltage across the diode remains fairly close to the diode's barrier potential.
Use diode when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
