Detailed Description

Holds the dispersion oscillator data for all 100 elements.

Populated by parseData() from the raw flat array in elementData.h. Arrays are indexed by (atomic_number - 1), i.e. index 0 = Hydrogen, index 5 = Carbon, etc.

nmax

int ElementOscillatorData::nmax[100]

Number of dispersion oscillators for each element.

nmax[Z-1] is the number of dispersion oscillators required to describe a medium made solely of the element with atomic number Z. Note that for mixtures/compounds nmax is modified later in estarMainCalc.cpp.

• example: nmax[6-1] is the number of oscillators for Carbon.

nc

int ElementOscillatorData::nc[100][26]

Number of electrons in each subshell for each element.

nc[Z-1][j] is the number of electrons in the j-th oscillator subshell for the element with atomic number Z, where 0 <= j < nmax[Z-1].

• example: the L-III subshell has 4 electrons, so nc[i-1][j] = 4 for the appropriate j when Z >= 10. Refer to the report for which portion of elementData.h holds subshell data.

bd

double ElementOscillatorData::bd[100][26]

Absorption edge energies (in units of hbar) for each oscillator.

bd[Z-1][j] is the absorption edge of the (j+1)-th oscillator for the element with atomic number Z, where 0 <= j < nmax[Z-1]. planck_constant * bd[Z-1][j] gives the absorption edge energy. Refer to the report for which portion of elementData.h holds this data.
