As an example we now consider an abrupt one-sided p-n diode. The current is shown as function of the voltage in Figure 4.4.7. It is calculated for a rather low n-type doping of 10 13 cm -3 to further highlight the high injection effects.hen calculating the current in a p-n diode one needs to know the carrier density and the electric field throughout the p-n diode which can then be used to obtain the drift and diffusion current. Unfortunately, this requires the knowledge of the quasi-Fermi energies, which is only known if the currents are known.
Doctors often diagnose testicular torsion with a physical exam of your scrotum, testicles, abdomen and groin. Your doctor might also test your reflexes by lightly rubbing or pinching the inside of your thigh on the affected side. Normally, this causes the testicle to contract.
Tight clothing can aggravate those problems, he added. Men should be especially concerned when trying to squeeze on tight pants. Morrissey cautioned that one of the problems with wearing skinny jeans is that it can cause a testicular torsion, where one testicle gets twisted on itself. If left untreated, the torsion can cut off circulation and cause the testicle to die. While there have been reported cases of testicular torsion from tight clothing, none have got so severe that a man has lost one of his testicles. Normally the condition is so painful that people seek help pretty quickly, he said.
