Dear Alexander,
Sender: owner-fluka-discuss_at_mi.infn.it
It is actually a FLUKA physics model limitation. Nanometer scale means
very small ranges, thus very small energies, which are below the validity
of FLUKA models.
If you are interested in scoring within the nanomaterials, as a rule of
thumb, you should not go lower than fractions of microns (for densities 1
g/cm^3).
On the other hand, if you regard the nanomaterial as a passive absorber,
then you could model it as an homogeneous compound and still obtain
reasonable attenuation and/or reaction products.
Best regards,
Ricardo

Objet : [fluka-discuss]: regarding suspension with nano-sized element
Dear experts
I read in the discussion topics that FLUKA is not suitable for nano sized
geometry, yet my question is if there is any actual code limitation, for
example, the simulation of attenuation properties of suspension containing
nano-sized element (the geometry could be modelled as voxels, I suppose).
Any comments/opinions/insights regarding this are appreciated much,
thanks.
BR,Alexander
