We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello, I would suggest to have a look at the following links where they describe how to create new and binary alloys in Charge:

1. https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034919213

2. https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034398514-Tips-for-creating-a-new-alloy-material

In the materials tab you can find the following useful

If the material chosen from the drop down menu is a binary alloy consisting of two semiconductors, then there will be an additional property, namely, the "composition fraction" to set as well.

  • COMPOSITION FRACTION: This is x, the fraction of the semiconductor in the alloy. x can either take a fixed value or vary.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Kind regards

Dimitris
