Plasma Wall Interaction

The solution was prepared by the addition of 5.00ml of methyl red standard solution (from step B) to 12.50ml of 0.040 M NaOAc which was contained in a 50-ml volumetric

A coaxial pulsed plasma thruster operating at 18 Joules was discharged over lunar regolith, silica powder, powdered aluminum, and Polytetrafluoroethylene to evaluate their potential as a minimally refined in-situ resource. All propellants ablated and their plumes were examined using high speed imaging, spectroscopy, and a double Langmuir probe. Silica produced a greater spectral intensity than lunar regolith. Imaging revealed micron sized radiating particles are ejected from the anode, cathode, and propellant surfaces with speeds of up to 60 m/s. The double Langmuir probe revealed in-situ propellants may produce peak charge densities similar to PTFE, as well as slower populations of charged particles. The probe also revealed a lower bound

Physics is a controlling factor in our vast universe. It literally controls how our reality operates and how our existence came to be in this universe, it actually it what made our universe. When you think about physics you probably think about friction and forces but it is a much broader idea. Physics is what controls how the atoms that make up everything work with each other to form the things we see, the things we use, and even ourselves. Physics is a fundamental basis of our idea of the universe; yes there could be another parallel universe that has a different set of laws of physics but if it exists and we discover it

The ITER is an internationally funded research and development project which focuses on constructing the world’s first largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor. This project intends to adopt the experimental and theoretical studies of plasma physics or ‘tokomak’ (a device utilizing electromagnetic fields to trap plasma) and apply it to construct a fully functional, nuclear fusion power plant which will harness the energy made from nuclear fusion to create electricity.. This project is funded by USA, China, India, the EU, Russia, Japan and South Korea. The stated countries have funded a total of 6.6 billion pounds to the French government in order for the project to commence.

The relationship between plasma collisionality and intermittency has been investigated for density and potential fluctuations in the stellarator TJ-K, as well as with Hasegawa-Wakatani simulations. The intermittency level was determined in experiments using two methods. First, the scale separated kurtosis analysis consisted of applying a wavelet transform to density and potential time series and calculating the kurtosis of the wavelet coefficients at a chosen frequency scale, (-- removed HTML --) (-- removed HTML --) 30 (-- removed HTML --) (-- removed HTML --) similar to the method of calculating the kurtosis of a high-pass filtered signal.

It is also of great importance to investigate the performance of the FEAs at elevated temperatures from the viewpoint of the development of electron devices for operation in harsh environments. The realization of electron devices that can be operated at high temperatures is strongly desired in various fields.50 Although the feasibility of FEAs at high temperatures has been suggested as one of the advantages of this kind of devices,1,29 only a few studies have observed the electron emission properties at elevated temperatures.40,41 Our recent achievements on high temperature devices such as lifetime extension at high temperatures are described elsewhere.51

The interest in plasmon modes dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, but recent advances in structuring, manipulating and observing on the nanometer scale have revitalized this field even though these technological advances were at first driven by the increasing demand for a semiconductor based integrated electronic components, optical applications are now receiving increasing attention. Guiding light in an integrated optical system and interfacing with electronic components remain important challenges for research and development today. Nanostructures metals are believed to be one of the key ingredients of such future optoelectronic devices.

In a dense plasma focus [1,2] only a small portion of the energy from the capacitor discharge is used to produce a single plasma focus event. Efforts have been made to combine several plasma focus devices in different configurations to enhance neutron generation and charged particle emission [3, 4] so the energy from the capacitor discharge can be used more efficiently. Staged plasma focus by using two plasma focus guns that are placed in front of each other was suggested to produce two plasma focusing events. The operation of proposed configuration wasn’t successful due to occurrence of unwanted early discharge due to precursor radiation from one of the plasma foci in the staged plasma focus device [3]. To solve this issue a disk was

For the treated feature to be round, an axisymmetric 2D model was constructed to simulate the LSWP process. The model comprised CAX4R elements (Continuum, Axisymmetric, 4 nodes, Reduced integration), with a BIAS function in x-direction and z-direction to allow a denser mesh near the micro-feature. The element size and quantity are shown in Fig. 3. The element quantity of the model was 32856. A convergence study was also conducted. The element quantity of the contrastive models was 79200 and 472480. The results show that the maximum residual stress error is <2.16%, and the maximum displacement error was <1.78%, indicating that the results of this study were convergent. To remove the effect of the reflective shock wave, infinite elements were used at the bottom and the edge of the model (as shown in Fig. 3) [7–9]. The contacting foil is also meshed.
