Dear Wang,
I encountered yet one more hurdle in defining a new material. I want to add
a material--LaBr3Ce--Cerium doped LaBr3 (Cerium .05%, LaBr3 .95%). I added
La, Br and Ce into [Elements];LaBr3 into [Materials] and LaBr3Ce into
[Materials] by following coding lines:
[Elements]
.......
Lanthanum: S=La ; Z=57. ; A=138.9055 g/mole
Bromine: S=Br ; Z=35. ; A=79.904 g/mole
Cerium: S=Ce ; Z=58. ; A=58.12 g/mole
[Materials]
.......
LaBr3: d=5.06 g/cm3; n=2 ; state=solid
+el: name=Lanthanum ; n=1
+el: name=Bromine ; n=3
LaBr3Ce: d=5.3 g/cm3; n=2
+mat: name=LaBr3 ; f=0.95
+el: name=Ce ; f=0.05
and renamed the file as *MyGateMaterials.db* .
Then I typed the following:
ds at ananth-Precision-T5600:~/Desktop/gate-work/smallCam$ Gate --qt
In the qt GUI session, I typed:
/control/execute smallcam.mac
This kicked me out of the screen.
The result on the terminal was the following:

(l.101): GateMaterialDatabase: could not find the definition for element
'Ce' in material files
I fail to understand why the element 'Ce' could not be found!
Can anyone explain my mistake and suggest the way out ?
Sincrely,
deba999
PS: I am attaching the "MyGateMaterials.db" file herewith
