Thanks for the kind words.

No tips or tricks from me yet.  I've managed to get it to do what I wanted
through a lot of experimentation.  I think it will take some time with
people using media to really map out how all the parameters can be specified
to achieve varying effects.

Also, the results I'm posting are not from experiment but from detailed,
high order molecular quantum mechanics calculations so they probably are a
bit better defined than the SEM work to which you referred.
