In RLumCarlo: Monte-Carlo Methods for Simulating Luminescence Phenomena

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

Description

Runs a Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation of linearly modulated optically stimulated luminescence (LM-OSL) using the generalized one trap (GOT) model. Localized transitions refer to transitions which do not involve the conduction or valence band. These transitions take place between the ground state and an excited state of the trap, and also involve a an energy state of the recombination centre.

Usage

run_MC_LM_OSL_LOC(
  A,
  times,
  clusters = 10,
  n_filled = 100,
  r,
  method = "par",
  output = "signal",
  ...
)

Arguments

A	numeric (required): The optical excitation rate from the ground state into the excited state of the trap (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_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 localized 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_{LOC}(t) = -dn/dt = (A * t/P) * (n^2 / (r + n))

Where in the function:
A := optical excitation rate from the ground state into the excited state of the trap (1/s)
P := total excitation time (s)
t := time (s)
n := n_filled, the instantaneous number of electrons
r := the retrapping ratio for localized transitions

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.

Examples

## short example

 A = 1,
 times = 0:40,
 clusters = 10,
 n_filled = 100,
 r = 1e-7,
 method = "seq",

plot_RLumCarlo(legend = TRUE)

## Not run: 
## the long (meaningful) example
