MC-SET README EXAMPLES FILE

Montecarlo Simulation of Electron Trajectories

Last update [Tue Nov 23 09:59:46 2010]
Program version 0F18

Introduction

This file is the same as the one with the same on the web,at http://www.mc-set.com/readme_examples.htm and applies to all versions of MC-SET.

The purpose of this file is to describe the various example files supplied with the web installation package for mc-set.

Data files

Various data files used for the simulation and for processing the simulation results.

File name: Description of the file usage:
all 6i.mat List of all materials known to the system. Further materials can be defined from the mc-set menus.(this is the old format, still used by some parts of the simulation)
all 6i.mat XML new format (used in some parts of the simulation. It contains the same data as the previous file.
mc-set.xls template for excel processing of simulation data (e.g., depth doses)
Au.lil correction for Au - Files with the .lil extension: are the Liljequist correction for the corresponding materials.
C.lil correction for C
Cu.lil correction for Cu
si3n4.lil correction for Si3N4
XX.lil general material with no correction
vac si..exp experimental setup file for example (XML format)
vac si..spc specimen definition file for example (XML format)

File name: Description of the file usage:
mc-set.log this is a log file, in which all actions and responses from the

Example files

These are files in the data and results directories, installed in the user's My Documents folder under the mc-set path. These include the examples supplied with the program, which are described later on, and the In the following, along with each file name the description of each file is given.

Vac_Si

This is a specimen with a vacuum layer on top of Silicon, intended to show that the program correctly deals with the top empty layer (no energy deposited there, and no scattering).

For this specimen, the various files in the results directory are:

File name: Description of the file usage:
vac si..xls excel spreadsheet with calculated electron doses
vac si..e01 energy matrix (binary) file
vac si..r01 old style simulation results (used still by the system)
vac si..r01 XML new version of simulation results
vac si..bmp image of some simulation trajectories

BSE calculation files:

File name: Description of the file usage:
Bs calc mc-set a00 Analytically calculated backscattered electron data, from the Tools menu option.
Bs calc mc-set xls Graphical display using an Excel spreadsheet of the above data. This file is automatically created after the calculation.

Using the example files

If you want to use the example files please note the following:

  1. make a backup copy of the original files, so that you can go back to them
  2. the paths in the various data files will need to be adjusted to the path of your installed system: for the the specimen file the path to the material list file needs to be corrected, while for the experiment file the path to specimen file needs to be updated.
  3. if you want to discuss any results obtained from these file, please remember to include your modified files too.
