One equation that governs these objects involves the ideality factor, which is multiplied by the thermal voltage. The saturation current is another term in that law, the Shockley equation. These devices typically overheat above the breakdown voltage, although the reverse-biased "avalanche" type will not. These devices, symbolized on circuit diagrams with a triangle and a vertical line, consist of a single P-N junction. With low forward resistances but very high reverse resistances, for 10 points, name these circuit components, designed to allow current to flow in only one direction, which may be "light-emitting".
