Need explication for TMM mode

[bouhmid18]

I just installed Solcore and I start using it. I ask for explanations on the example of the TMM how to know the structure on which I work (what the right order of the layers)?
Thank you

Hi! The order of the layers is:

• 1st --> Layer closest to the surface
• Last --> Substrate or back of the structure.

So, assuming you are talking about the example "Optical_constants_RAT_of_ARC", the bit where the structure is made:

stack = Structure([
    [117, 1240 / E_eV, mgf_nk[1], mgf_nk[2]],
    [80, 1240 / E_eV, sic_nk[1], sic_nk[2]],
    [61, 1240 / E_eV, zns_nk[1], zns_nk[2]],
    [25, 1240 / E_eV, alinp_nk[1], alinp_nk[2]],
    [350000, 1240 / E_eV, gainp_nk[1], gainp_nk[2]]
])

indicates that the layers are, from front surface to substrate: MgF, SiC, ZnS, AlInP and GaInP.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll add a note to improve how the explanations within the examples.
Best regards
