function ImpactIonizationModel

inline explicit ImpactIonizationModel(
    double threshold
)

Parameters:

• threshold Threshold electric field for impact ionization

Default constructor

function ~ImpactIonizationModel

virtual ~ImpactIonizationModel() =default

Default virtual destructor

function operator()

inline virtual double operator()(
    const CarrierType & type,
    double efield_mag,
    double step
) const

Parameters:

• type Type of charge carrier (electron or hole)
• efield_mag Magnitude of the electric field
• step Length of the current step

Return: Gain generated by impact ionization in this step

Reimplemented by: allpix::NoImpactIonization::operator()
