PrismSPECT Major Features


Computes spectra and ionization distributions of plasmas with uniform temperatures and densities (single volume elements of finite size).
Includes an easy-to-use graphical user interface for problem setup and viewing results.
Includes on-line documentation, including direct access to Help pages from widgets.
Computes atomic level populations and spectra for LTE* and non-LTE plasmas.
Computes influence of external radiation field on populations and spectra.
Includes modeling for plasmas with non-Maxwellian electron distributions.
Computes absorption spectra for plasma/backlighter systems.
Supports solution of either steady-state or time-dependent atomic rate equations.
Supports convenient computation of results for a 2-D grid of independent variables. Any two of the following:
Temperature
Density
Plasma size
Composition
External radiation field
Non-Maxwellian electron distribution parameters
Includes graphics package for visualizing results for:
 

Frequency-dependent quantities, convolved with instrumental broadening

  Emission spectra
  Transmission spectra
  Opacity
  Optical depth
Ionization fractions
Atomic level populations
Includes the following atomic processes in collisional-radiative modeling:
 
Collisional ionization, recombination, excitation, and deexcitation
Photoionization and stimulated recombination
Photoexcitation and stimulated emission
Spontaneous decay
Radiative recombination
Dielectronic recombination, autoionization, and electron capture
Includes Doppler, natural (incl. autoionization contributions), and Stark broadening in line profile modeling.
Utilizes ATBASE suite of atomic codes for supplying:
 
Photoionization cross-sections
Oscillator strengths
Collisional ionization cross-sections
Collisional excitation cross-sections
Atomic level energies and transition energies
Dielectronic recombination, autoionization, and electron capture rates.
Incorporates NIST atomic level energies and oscillator strengths when available.
