The 'No absorbing layers' button | |
![]() |
Disables the use of absorbing layers. This button provides a convenient way to remove the effects of the absorbing material layers in a simulation. |
The 'Use absorbing layers' button | |
![]() |
Enables the use of absorbing layers. The layers can now be added, removed and edited via futher controls. |
The layers table | |
![]() |
Use
this table to select the absorbing layer to edit. When a layer is
selected its properties are then shown in the layer density,
thickness and thickness fluctuation fields. The layer material is
displayed in the layer element composition table and the layer can be
removed with the delete layer button. |
The 'add layer' button | |
![]() |
This
button adds an absorbing layer to the layers table. The layer will
initially have thickness of 1 um, density of 1 g/cm and elemental
composition of hydrogen. The layer can now be selected in the layers
table and its properties edited. |
The 'delete layer' button | |
![]() |
This
button deletes the layer currently selected in the layers table. The
deleted layer is then lost and won't be considered in the simulation. |
The layer density field | |
![]() |
This field lets you specify the density of the material the currently selected layer is composed of. |
The layer thickness field | |
![]() |
This field lets you specify the thickness of the currently selected layer. |
The layer thickness fluctuations field | |
![]() |
This
field lets you specify fluctuations in the thickness of the currently
selected layer. The fluctuatioins are specified in absolute units. |
'Layer element composition' table |
|
![]() |
This
table displays the elemental composition of the currently selected layer. By clicking on
the white portion of table you will be able to edit the material. See
editing materials with the material editor. |
