In this paper, high-energy Ne ions were used to irradiate Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG and crystalline W to investigate their difference in mechanical response after irradiation. The results showed that with the irradiation dose increased, the tensile micro-strain increased, nano-hardness increased from 7.11 GPa to 7.90 GPa and 8.62 GPa, Young's modulus increased, and H3/E2 increased which indicating that the plastic deformability decreased in crystalline W. Under the same irradiation conditions, the Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG still maintained the amorphous structure and became more disordered despite the longer range and stronger displacement damage of Ne ions in Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG than in crystalline W. Unlike the irradiation hardening and embrittlement behavior of crystalline W, Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG showed the gradual decrease in hardness from 6.02 GPa to 5.89 GPa and 5.50 GPa, the decrease in modulus and the increase in plastic deformability with the increasing dose. Possibly, the irradiation softening and toughening phenomenon of Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG could provide new ideas for the design of nuclear materials.
本文采用高能Ne离子辐照Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG和晶体W,研究它们在辐照后的力学响应差异。结果表明,随着辐照剂量的增加,拉伸微应变增加,纳米硬度从 7.11 GPa 增加到 7.90 GPa 和 8.62 GPa,杨氏模量增加,H3/E2 增加,这表明晶体 W 的塑性变形能力下降。5 MG 仍保持无定形结构,尽管与晶体 W 相比,Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG 中 Ne 离子的位移范围更长、位移损伤更强,但其变得更加无序。与晶体 W 的辐照硬化和脆化行为不同,随着剂量的增加,Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG 的硬度从 6.02 GPa 逐渐降低到 5.89 GPa 和 5.50 GPa,模量降低,塑性变形能力增加。Zr63.5Cu23Al9Fe4.5 MG的辐照软化和增韧现象可能为核材料的设计提供了新思路。

This paper reports an improved time-delay displacement estimation (TDE) technique for the derivation of turbulence structures based on gas-puff imaging (GPI) data. The improved TDE technique, integrating an inverse timing search and hierarchical strategy, offers superior accuracy in calculating turbulent velocity field maps and analyzing blob dynamics, which has power to obtain the radial profiles of equilibrium poloidal velocity, blob size and its radial velocity, even the fluctuation analysis, such as geodesic acoustic modes (GAM) and quasi-coherent mode (QCM), etc. This improved technique could provide important 2D information for the study of edge turbulence and the blob dynamics, advancing the understanding of edge turbulence physics in fusion plasmas.

Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) is widely considered as an ideal target plasma for magneto-inertial fusion. However, its confinement and stability, both proportional to the radius, will deteriorate inevitably during radial compression. Hence, we propose a new fusion approach based on axial compression of a large-sized FRC. The axial compression can be made by plasma jets or plasmoids converging onto the axial ends of the FRC. The parameter space that can reach the ignition condition while preserve the FRC’s overall quality is studied by using a numerical model based on different FRC confinement scaling. It is found that ignition is possible for large FRC that can be achieved with the current FRC formation techniques if compression ratio is larger than 50. A more realistic compression is to combine axial with moderate radial compression, which is also presented and calculated in this work.

The effects of equilibrium toroidal rotation during edge-localized mode (ELM) mitigated by resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) are studied with the experimental equilibria of the EAST tokamak based on the four-field model in the BOUT++ code. As the two main parameters to determine the toroidal rotation profiles, the rotation shear and magnitudes were separately scanned to investigate their roles in the impact of RMPs on peeling–ballooning (P-B) modes. On one hand, the results show that strong toroidal rotation shear is favorable for the enhancement of the self-generated
