In this work, a new divertor model is proposed, which is processed by 3D-printing technology to accurately control the size of the internal capillary structure. At the steady-state heat load of 10 MW/m2, the thermal stress of tungsten target is within the bearing range of tungsten by FE simulation. In order to evaluate the wicking ability of capillary structure, the wicking process at 600 °C was simulated by Fluent. Its result was identical with the corresponding experiments. Within 1 s, liquid lithium was wicked to target surface by the capillary structure of the target and quickly spread on the target surface. During the wicking process, the average wicking mass rate of lithium would reach 0.062 g/s, which could even supplement the evaporation requirement of liquid lithium under ＞950 °C environment. Irradiation experiments under different plasma discharge currents were carried out in linear plasma device (SCU-PSI), and the evolution process of the vapor cloud during plasma irradiation was analyzed. It was found that the target temperature tends to plateau in spite of gradually increased input current, indicating that the vapor shielding effect is gradually enhanced. The irradiation experiment also confirmed that 3D-printing tungsten structure has better heat consumption performance than that of tungsten mesh structure and multichannel structure. These results reveal the application potential and feasibility of 3D-printing porous capillary structure in plasma-facing components(PFCs) and provide a reference for further liquid-solid combined target designs.","PeriodicalId":506986,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science and Technology","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140725350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An x-ray streak camera that is set at 16 degrees with respect to the hohlraum axis is applied to acquire the time-resolved x-ray images from the open end.

The airflow rate and pulse delay are the main experimental variables. The evolution of plasma motion was recorded using ultrafast time-resolved optical shadowing. The experimental results demonstrate that the expansion velocity of the plasma and combustion wave is influenced differently by the side-blowing airflow at different airflow rates (0.2 Ma, 0.4 Ma, and 0.6 Ma). As the flow rate of the side-blow air stream increases, the initial expansion velocity of the plasma and combustion wave gradually decreases, and the side-blow air stream increasingly suppresses the plasma. It is important to note that the target vapor is always formed and ionized into plasma during the combined pulse laser action. Therefore, the side-blown airflow alone cannot completely clear the plasma. Depending on the delay conditions, the pressure of the side-blowing airflow and the influence of inverse Bremsstrahlung radiation absorption and target surface absorption mechanisms can lead to a phenomenon known as double combustion wave when using a nanosecond pulse laser. Both simulation and experimental results are consistent, indicating the potential for further exploration of fused silica targets in the laser field.","PeriodicalId":506986,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science and Technology","volume":"18 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140775072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One possible configuration is tubular geometry. The radicals are introduced into the tubes on one side, and stable molecules are exhausted on the other side. The penetration depth of radicals depends on numerous parameters, so it is not always feasible to calculate it. This article presents systematic measurements of the penetration depth of oxygen atoms along tubes made from nickel, cobalt, and copper. The source of O atoms was a surfatron-type microwave plasma. The initial density of O atoms depended on the gas flow and was 0.7, 2.4, and 4.2 〖∙10〗^21 m^(-3) at the flow rates of 50, 300, and 600 sccm, and pressure of 10, 35, and 60 Pa, respectively. The gas temperature remained at room temperature throughout the experiments. The dissociation fraction decreased exponentially along the length of the tubes in all cases. The penetration depths for well-oxidized nickel were 1.2, 1.7, and 2.4 cm, respectively. For cobalt, they were slightly lower at 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6 cm, respectively, while for copper, they were 1.1, 1.3, and 1.7 cm, respectively. The results were explained by gas dynamics and heterogeneous surface association. These data are useful in any attempt to estimate the loss of molecular fragments along tubes, which serve as catalysts for the association of various radicals to stable molecules.","PeriodicalId":506986,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science and Technology","volume":"169 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140790585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bright concentric-ring structures and dark concentric-ring structures are alternately distributed. The bright concentric-ring structures are located at the centre of the wider concentric-ring structures. The formation of the wider concentric-ring structures is first formed from the outer edge and gradually develops to the centre. The essence of all three concentric-ring structures is the individual discharge filaments. The optical emission spectra of different sub-lattices are acquired and analyzed. It is found that the plasma parameters of the three concentric-ring sub-lattices are different.

Dai, rui Ming Zhu, Tao Shao, Buang Wang","doi":"10.1088/2058-6272/ad386b","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2058-6272/ad386b","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Secondary electron emission (SEE) induced by the positive ion is an essential physical process to influence the dynamics of gas discharge which relies on the specific surface material. Surface charging has a significant impact on the material properties, thereby affecting the SEE in the plasma-surface interactions. However, it does not attract enough attention in the previous studies. In this paper, SEE dependent on the charged surface of specific materials is described with the computational method combining a density functional theory (DFT) model from the first-principle theory and the theory of Auger neutralization. The effect of κ-Al2O3 surface charge, as an example, on the ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient (SEEC) is investigated by analysing the defect energy level and band structure on the charged surface. Simulation results indicate that, with the surface charge from negative to positive, the SEEC of a part of low ionization energy ions (such as Ei = 12.6 eV) increases first and then decreases, exhibiting a nonlinear changing trend. This is quite different from the monotonic decreasing tendency observed in the previous model which simplifies the electronic structure. This irregular increase of the SEEC can be attributed to the lower escaped probability of orbital energy. The results further illustrate that the excessive charge could cause the bottom of the conduction band close to the valence band, thus leading to the decrease of the orbital energy occupied by the excited electrons. The nonlinear change of SEEC demonstrates a more realistic situation of how the electronic structure of material surface influences the SEE process. This work provides an accurate method of calculating SEEC from specific materials, which is urgent in widespread physical scenarios sensitive to surface materials, such as increasingly growing practical applications concerning plasma-surface interactions.","PeriodicalId":506986,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science and Technology","volume":"10 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study explores the effects of different plasma gases, discharge voltages, and exposure times on the treated fabrics. The findings emphasize the importance of optimizing the plasma's peak voltage to achieve desired surface treatment outcomes. The document also presents data on color strength, wettability, color fastness, and tensile strength of the treated fabrics, as well as SEM analysis of surface morphology and chemical analysis using FTIR and EDX. The results show that treatment at a peak voltage of 11.83 kV is more efficient, except for the tensile strength which is enhanced at a peak voltage of 8.92 kV. The oxygen plasma treatment significantly improves the color strength, which exhibits an increase from 11 to 18. The intensified color was attributed to the significant influence of electrostatic interactions between the charged hydroxyl groups of the oxygen plasma treated viscose textiles and the dye molecules, which enhance the printability. The oxygen dielectric barrier discharge plasma exhibits a higher ability to enhance the properties of textiles when compared to air and argon plasmas. This study presents a sustainable, economical, secure, and ecologically friendly approach to explore new fabrics for specific uses.","PeriodicalId":506986,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Science and Technology","volume":" 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140216098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hou, Zhe Wang","doi":"10.1088/2058-6272/ad370c","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2058-6272/ad370c","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Nowadays, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has become a widely used atomic spectroscopic technique for rapid coal analysis. While the vast spectral information in LIBS contains signal uncertainty, which can impact its quantification performance. In this work, we proposed a hybrid variable selection method to improve the performance of LIBS quantification. Important variables are first identified using Pearson’s correlation coefficient (PCC), mutual information (MI), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random forest (RF), and then filtered and combined with empirical variables related to fingerprint elements of coal ash content. Subsequently, these variables are fed into partial least squares regression (PLSR). Additionally, in some models, certain variables unrelated to ash content were removed manually to study the variable deselection’s impact on model performance. The proposed hybrid strategy was tested on three LIBS datasets for quantitative analysis of coal ash content and compared with the corresponding data-driven baseline method. It is significantly better than the variable selection only based on empirical knowledge and in most cases outperforms the baseline method. The results showed that on all three datasets, hybrid strategy for variable selection combining empirical knowledge and data-driven algorithms achieved the lowest RMSEP values of 1.605, 3.478 and 1.647, respectively, which were significantly lower than those obtained from multiple linear regression using only 12 empirical variables, which are 1.959, 3.718 and 2.181, respectively.
