The diode with the lowest voltage drop you're likely to find is the so-called "back diode", a form of tunnel diode (Ge) in which the peak voltage is reduced to very low value. Its forward voltage drop is very close to zero, but the reverse is not very high... high enough for some interesting applications, though. Look up your literature under "Tunnel Diodes".
