&INIT

 

This record is used for initialization.

CUSTXT --- User Defined Text

With this text the user may describe the example. This text will be written to all output files.

FDETCT --- File Name for Detector-specific Parameters

This variable specifies the file name for detector-specific parameters. All detector specific parameters may be read in from this file although, generally, all namelist records, except the &INIT namelist, can be used within this file. Specifications in the (master) input deck have the highest priority, followed by that in the FMYDEF file, then the FDETCT file, and last the FINSTR file.

FINSTR --- File Name for Instrument-specific Parameters

This variable specifies the file name for instrument-specific parameters. All instrument specific parameters may be read in from this file although generally all namelist records, except the &INIT namelist, can be used within this file. Specifications in the (master) input deck have the highest priority, followed by that in the FMYDEF file, then the FDETCT file, and last the FINSTR file.

FMYDEF --- File Name for User-specific Parameters

This variable specifies the file name for user-specific default values parameters. Any user specific default value may be read in from this file. All namelist records, except the &INIT namelist, can be used within this file. Specifications in the (master) input deck have the highest priority, followed by that in the FMYDEF file, then the FDETCT file, and last the FINSTR file.

JOB --- Job Name

This variable specifies the job name. The default value of JOB is the input file name without extension. The default output file names have this JOB string in their file names.

SIGNAL --- Signal of Interest

This variable specifies the signal of interest generated by the impinging electrons. Six different signals are supported in SESAME Version 1.2, namely XC (Characteristic X-rays), BE (Backscattered Electrons), SE (Secondary Electrons), TE (Transmitted Electrons), AE (Auger Electrons), and IO (IOnizations).

TECHQU --- Technique

This variable specifies the measurement technique used. Four different techniques are supported in SESAME Version 1.2. EMP stands for Electron Micro Probe, SEM for Scanning Electron Microscope, TEM for Transmission Electron Microscope, and AES for Auger Electron Spectrometer. Several SIGNALs may be used for one TECHQU. These are BE, SE, XC, IO for SEM, XC, BE, SE, TE, IO, for EMP, TE, BE, XC, IO for TEM, and AE, SE, IO for AES, the first one being always the default SIGNAL. XC stands for Characteristic X-rays, SE for Secondary Electrons, BE for Backscattered Electrons, TE for Transmitted Electrons, AE for Auger Electrons, and IO for Ionizations.

UNITS --- Length Units Used in Input Deck

This variable specifies the length units which will be used in the current input deck. The default unit is microns. This is relevant for SPSIZE in the &EBEAM namelist, XESPOT and XRANGE in the &MSETUP namelist, and SCREEN, POST, PMSAV and HIST in the &OUTPUT namelist, if lengths are explicitely defined. Only the first two characters are significant.

USEBK --- Use Backup File

This variable specifies the file name of a backup file. If a backup file name is specified then this backup file shall be used to continue a previous simulation. Only minor changes of the input file with respect to the input file of the previous run are allowed. A usual modification is to increase NETRN to obtain better statistics. This feature is not implemented in Version 1.2.
