This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence in plasma surface interaction holds crucial uncertainties for its impact on material erosion in the operation of fusion reactors. In this thesis, the design, development and operation of a Thomson scattering diagnostic and its novel implementation with fast visual imaging created a versatile tool to investigate intermittently occuring plasma oscillations. Specifically, ballistic transport events in the plasma edge, constituting turbulent transport, have been targeted in this thesis. With the help of a custom photon counting algorithm, the conditional averaging technique was applied on Thomson scattering for the first time to allow spatial and pseudo-time-resolved measurements. Since plasma turbulence and the emerging transport phenomena are comparable in most magnetized devices, the diagnostic development and the results from the linear plasma device PSI-2 are useful for an implementation of similar techniques in larger fusion experiments. Furthermore, the obtained results indicate a strong enhancement of erosion with turbulent transport and thus underline the importance of dedicated experiments investigating plasma turbulence in the framework of erosion in future fusion reactors.

The report describes the major research facilities on which such high energy density conditions can be achieved and lists a number of key scientific questions about high energy density physics that can be addressed by this research. Several recommendations are presented that would facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy for realizing these research opportunities.
Download or read book Surface Electron Cyclotron Waves in Plasmas written by Volodymyr Girka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of its kind devoted to surface waves propagating across an external static magnetic field at harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency. Based on comprehensive theoretical studies carried out over the course of about forty years, it presents unique material on various characteristics of these transverse waves, namely, dispersion properties and their dependence on numerous design peculiarities of plasma waveguides; damping due to interaction with the plasma surface (the kinetic channel) and collisions between plasma particles (the Ohmic channel); interaction with flows of charged particles moving above the plasma surface; parametric excitation due to the effect of an external radiofrequency field; and their power transfer for sustaining gas discharges. Clarifying numerous complicated mathematical issues it is a valuable resource for postgraduate students and experts in plasma physics, electromagnetic waves, and the kinetic theory of plasmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasma processing of materials is a critical technology to several of the largest manufacturing industries in the worldâ€"electronics, aerospace, automotive, steel, biomedical, and toxic waste management. This book describes the relationship between plasma processes and the many industrial applications, examines in detail plasma processing in the electronics industry, highlights the scientific foundation underlying this technology, and discusses education issues in this multidisciplinary field. The committee recommends a coordinated, focused, and well-funded research program in this area that involves the university, federal laboratory, and industrial sectors of the community. It also points out that because plasma processing is an integral part of the infrastructure of so many American industries, it is important for both the economy and the national security that America maintain a strong leadership role in this technology.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electron dynamics and plasma-infusion are crucial for understanding plasma and materialrecycling, cooling, and the plasma-material interactions (PMI) for plasma facing surfaces for applications such as fusion energy and space propulsion. Notably, we have shown that new materials such as volumetrically complex materials (VCMs) can improve plasma device performance and lifetime and may provide a versatile design space for plasma-facing components such as inner walls and high-power electrodes. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the key PMI of VCMs by examining and characterizing the effects of electron dynamics occurring at the near-surface plasma region with focus on SEE and ion-induced sputtering. This work uses a combination of experimental, computational, and analytical methods. Much of this work uses reticulated foams as a representative material architecture to investigate PMI behavior across a wide range of the VCM design space. Secondary electron emission (SEE) yield analyses using a new scanning electron microscope (SEM) method revealed up to 43% suppression from foam compared with at. Foam ligament-to-pore aspect ratio showed the presence of an optimal geometric configuration, which is in agreement with current and past analytical models. Using SEM techniques, the importance of sample transparency and backplate yield contributions on overall target yield in plasma-facing regimes was also established. These results showed that geometric xxxi transparency can be used to assess the effective transparency to plasma species. Angular dependence revealed multi-scale behavior in that foams with um features exhibit loss of angular dependence much like fuzzes, while large foams (mm) are directional much like fibers and velvets. Electron spectroscopy showed that backscattered electron suppression is 80% more than low energy SEE suppression in carbon foams, while low energy SE generation may be enhanced. An analytical model for ion-sputtering of foams was modi ed to employ SEE physics and calculate SEE yields, which were then compared with experimental results. A dedicated, compact, hollow-cathode generated plasma facility was developed to expose biased foam (-100 to -600 V) to investigate plasma infusion regimes using electrostatic probing, optical emission spectroscopy, and in-situ sputter yield monitoring. A new diagnostic developed for real-time and in-situ surface profilometry is used to monitor the surface morphological evolution of foams during plasma exposure. Combined with ex-situ surface analysis techniques, plasma-foam experiments and analysis of inter-foam deposition and sputterant transport within pore layers have shown that plasma infusion is key for predicting back vs forward material sputtering. In addition, user facility was used in a collaboration project with UCLA Physics to investigate the effect of biased tungsten foams in a pulsed He plasma on material erosion and arcing in comparison with a planar surface. It was found that tungsten-based VCMs can withstand up to 600 V negative bias in a continuous and pulsed plasma environment, with significant reduction of arcing events when comparing to planar tungsten.
