Run Monte-Carlo Simulation for LM-OSL (delocalized transitions)

Description

Runs a Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation of linearly modulated optically stimulated luminescence (LM-OSL) using the one trap one recombination centre (OTOR) model. Delocalised refers to involvement of the conduction band.

Usage

run_MC_LM_OSL_DELOC(
  A,
  times,
  clusters = 10,
  N_e = 200,
  n_filled = N_e,
  R,
  method = "par",
  output = "signal",
  ...
)

Arguments

A	numeric (required): The optical excitation rate from trap to conduction band (s^-1)
times	numeric (required): The sequence of time steps within the simulation (s)
clusters	numeric (with default): The number of created clusters for the MC runs. The input can be the output of create_ClusterSystem. In that case n_filled indicate absolute numbers of a system.
N_e	integer (with default): The total number of electron traps available (dimensionless). Can be a vector of length(clusters), shorter values are recycled.
n_filled	integer (with default): The number of filled electron traps at the beginning of the simulation (dimensionless). Can be a vector of length(clusters), shorter values are recycled.
R	numeric (required): The retrapping ratio for delocalized transitions
method	character (with default): Sequential 'seq' or parallel 'par'processing. In the parallel mode the function tries to run the simulation on multiple CPU cores (if available) with a positive effect on the computation time.
output	character (with default): output is either the 'signal' (the default) or 'remaining_e' (the remaining charges/electrons in the trap)
...	further arguments, such as cores to control the number of used CPU cores or verbose to silence the terminal

Details

The model

I_{DELOC}(t) = -dn/dt = A * t/P * (n^2 / (N*R + n(1-R)))

Where in the function:
t := time (s)
A := the optical excitation rate from trap to conduction band (1/s)
n := n_filled, the instantaneous number of electrons
R := the retrapping ratio for delocalized transitions
N := N_e, the total number of electron traps available (dimensionless)
P := total stimulation time (s)

Value

This function returns an object of class RLumCarlo_Model_Output which is a list consisting of an array with dimension length(times) x clusters and a numeric time vector.
