I have some trouble understanding the RegionPlot command. I have defined the following input

Clear["Global`*"]

volume[R_, d_] := Pi R^2 d

atomNumber[R_, d_, n_] := 2*n*volume[R, d]

\[Gamma]Fn[x_] := 
 2/x^2 (1 - Exp[-x^2] (BesselI[0, x^2] + BesselI[1, x^2]))

\[Eta]Eval[\[Lambda]_, d_, R_, rc_, n_] := 
 UnitConvert[\[Lambda]*((atomNumber[R, d, n])^2/d^2) \[Gamma]Fn[
    R/(Sqrt[2] rc)] (1 - Exp[-d^2/(4*rc^2)])]

\[Del]Fn[\[Omega]_, m_] := 
 UnitConvert[Sqrt[Quantity["ReducedPlanckConstant"]/(\[Omega]*m)]]

coherence[\[Omega]_, d_, R_, rc_, \[Lambda]_, n_, T_, m_] := 
 UnitConvert[
  4*\[Eta]Eval[\[Lambda], d, R, rc, n]*T*(\[Del]Fn[\[Omega], m])^2]

with units

Subscript[m, 0] = Quantity[1, "AtomicMassUnit"]
R = Quantity[3.6, "Micrometers"]
d = Quantity[0.25, "Millimeters"]
n = Quantity[176.2 * 10^(27), "Meters"^(-3)]
rc = Quantity[10^(-7), "Meters"]
\[Lambda] = Quantity[10^(-17), "Seconds"^(-1)]
T = Quantity[350, "Femtoseconds"]
m = Quantity[6, "AtomicMassUnit"]
\[Omega]Paper = Quantity[40, "Terahertz"]

I simply want to make a plot that

  • calculates the value of coherence for all tuples $(\lambda, r_c)$ within a certain range
  • compares that function value against a threshold that is $1$
  • colors all points for which this inequality is true

For that, I use the following RegionPlot command:

RegionPlot[
 Evaluate[coherence[\[Omega]Paper Quantity[40, "Terahertz"], 
    d Quantity[1/4, "Millimeters"], R Quantity[18/5, "Micrometers"], 
    rc, \[Lambda], n Quantity[1762*10^(26), "Meters"^(-3)], 
    T Quantity[350, "Femtoseconds"], 
    m Quantity[6, "AtomicMassUnit"]] < 1], {rc, 
  Quantity[10^-9, "Meters"], Quantity[10^-1, "Meters"]}, {\[Lambda], 
  Quantity[10^-10, ("Seconds")^-1], Quantity[10^-1, ("Seconds")^-1]}, 
 PlotPoints -> 75, MaxRecursion -> 3, PlotRange -> All]

However, the code doesn't even run and the notebook stops after a while. What is the issue with this code?

My thoughts:

  • the numbers are too small (I can't change the numbers -> are there alternative programs to plot?)
  • there is some issue with my Mathematica version

  • $\begingroup$ One problem is that your coherence function does not evaluate to a numerical quantity, so it cannot be compared to "1". $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @bills But it does evaluate to a numerical quantity if I calculate it separately? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 25, 2022 at 7:01
