Added coulomb collisions and spatial growth model #4

These models are compared with the initial BOLSIG+ article from 2005 in the samples directory for Argon with the original cross sections.

@aluque this new features would be great for the code. Do you have time to review it?

minouHub commented 3 years ago

@lionelchg you mentioned in your last commit that electron-electron collisions are costly in time. In BOLSIG+, the e-e collisions are "turned on" only above a certain threshold of ionization. I could not find if you implemented this as well.

lionelchg commented 3 years ago

@minouHub indeed I haven't implemented this, however as of now it is a feature dependent of the user so you are free to perform this check in the main program to enable it or not
