Hi Kicaj,
Just, to follow up on Bruce's comment: A single cluster with 1 Al
absorber and no Al scatterers does not really describe "1%" or even
"0.5%" doping. It is "0%" doping.
By "1% Al doping", you (probably) really mean that each Zn site has a
1% chance of being occupied by Al. I think that's what you have to
simulate. That means generated many (several hundred I would expect)
clusters with each Zn site having 1% Al occupancy, and summing the
results of those calculations.
I don't think the mean free path or size of the subcluster for the
full multiple scattering matter here, except as it guides how large a
cluster you need to consider. The size of the cluster needed for
convergence is important, but does not really dictate an occupancy.
What you want it a set of clusters that does simulate the proper
doping level.
