NI_OVER_NE_2

Definition

Second-ion-to-electron density ratio

\frac{n_2}{n_e}

or scaling parameter (see comments).

Comments

  • This defines the second ion density only when RADIAL_PROFILE_METHOD=1,5.
  • However, if RADIAL_PROFILE_METHOD=3, NI_OVER_NE_2 acts as a scaling factor for the experimental profile. Setting it to zero will inhibit inclusion of all but the main ion.
  • The user is in charge of enforcing charge neutrality:
n_e = \sum_{\sigma \ge 1} z_\sigma n_\sigma .
  • If this condition is not satisfied the code will simply inform the user of a charge imbalance in the input parameters.
