5.4 MODEL PARAMETERS Section

The MODEL PARAMETERS Section lists the parameters in the model, allowing the user to edit them:

Some parameters are models themselves and may have sub-parameters. For example, if the user double clicks on psd above, the following dialog box opens:

The user can then select among the possible models for that parameter. When the user presses OK, all of the sub-parameters are updated with their default values, unless the box is checked.

Double-clicking on other parameters will open the following dialog box:

If the box marked “Transfer directly as a string to model” is not checked, then any arithmetic expression may be used for the value, using any parameters defined above it, and that parameter may be used in other expressions. Expressions can be used inside complex numbers (that is, as two expressions separated by a comma and surrounded by parentheses). Some parameters should not be evaluated or treated as variables, namely those that specify a filename, such as optical property information, or dielectric stack information. In that case, this box should be checked so that MIST does not attempt to evaluate it as an arithmetic expression.
