Dear Sergey
In comsol multiphysics software, in order import cross section data, the file format required is as follow:
---------------------------
The File Format
Cross-section data must be specified using the following format:
2nd line
3rd line
4th line
energy data (eV) Collision cross section (m2)
11st line: Keyword in capitals indicating the type of the collision. Possible collision types are ELASTIC, EXCITATION, IONIZATION, and ATTACHMENT. Note the use of capital letters.
22nd line: Reaction formula. This formula carries over to the COMSOL Multiphysics GUI so that whatever is entered here appears in the Formula field. The formula must be separated by a => sign.
33rd line: For elastic collisions, the ratio of the electron mass to the target particle mass. For attachment, the 3rd line is 0 (zero). For ionization, the threshold energy 1st line
in eV. For excitation there are three (3) numbers separated by a space. The first number is the excitation energy (eV). The second number is the ratio of statistical weights of the final state to the initial state. The third number is a flag that determines whether or not a detailed balance is used. Use a 1 to construct a detailed balance and 0 otherwise.
---------------------------
What I dont understand in here is (The third number is a flag that determines whether or not a detailed balance is used. Use a 1 to construct a detailed balance and 0 otherwise.), so would you please give me more details about the meaning of this (choises 1 or 0) or may be with an exemple about it.
Thank you very much in advence.
Best regards
