# this is totally non physical: we calculate the current in the drain of the mosfet,
# then use this value to calculate the voltage drop in the diode, and then plot Vf+voltage
# on the x-axis, and the current on the y-axis. Then, I divide the voltage across the MOSFET
# by an arbitrary factor (4) to get a steeper curve.
