TDS Simulator is a new software tool to rigorously model thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) experiments, also referred to as temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) or thermal desorption analysis (TDA). TDS Simulator can produce, in seconds, hydrogen desorption curves for arbitrary choices of material parameters, number of traps and hydrogen trap characteristics, using the primary hydrogen diffusion and trapping models (Oriani, McNabb-Foster). Moreover, TDS Simulator contains a specific functionality for loading experimental TDS data and conducting the inverse calibration of a selected transport model, providing automatic estimates of the density and binding energy of each hydrogen trap type in the material. It is efficient and very straightforward to use. Learn more about it by watching the video below, reading our paper and documentation, and by engaging with our community of users.
