Stepped Shield

This tutorial serves as an introduction to the internal charging simulation type in Charge Plus. The user will be introduced to the assignment of body materials, direct mesh groups, boundary conditions, and the use of a monoenergetic particle source. This particle source leverages particle interactions computed through Geant4 to describe the linear energy transfer and ionizing dose imparted on the semi-conductor model. The top electrode of this model is comprised of aluminum at various thicknesses, thus allowing the user to identify the relative shielding of each layer depending on its thickness.
