Synopsis

Si diodes can require elevated forward bias voltage to achieve sufficient forward bias current when they are placed in a strong static magnetic field B0 at cryogenic temperatures. This may disrupt active decoupling circuit operation in cryogenic MRI coils. Diodes may still operate if aligned in a certain way with the B0 field, which is studied in this work.
