Eph Tinfile

eph_Tinfile takes the name of the file containing the parameters to construct the mesh in three dimensions for the electronic system. If this file is provided, then the corresponding electronic parameters need not be provided in input file as those will not be considered. This file has to be prepared in a standard format. This is shown below.

Note (additional uses)

(1) To simulate with an external source term in S_e, at least one value under the 'flag' column must be set equal to 1.

(2) To simulate (non-linear case) using temperature-dependent parameters C_e and K_e, at least one value under 'T_dyn_flag' column must be set equal to 1. Then [math]\displaystyle{ C_e(T_e) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ K_e(T_e) }[/math] has to be provided through a file named as "Te-dependent_e-parameters.txt", which has a simple format as shown below:

# First 3 comment lines
# Te-dependent_e-parameters.txt file
# First N C_e(T_e) with T_e, no line gap, then M K_e(T_e) with T_e
