Dear Mohammed,

the 0.1.0 release includes the initial framework for field ionization
methods and the implementation for a very simple BSI model.

In the development branch, we are currently expanding and improving the
models and an ADK model is right now being refactored (we plan a pull
request in the next weeks).

Nevertheless, if a very plain BSI model is sufficient, this can be used
in the current release.


Best regards,
Axel
