Electromagnetic forces and possible magnetoelastic buckling caused by interaction with the toroidal magnetic field are analysed for the in-vessel poloidal field coils of the tokamak T-15 upgrade. Analytical expressions for the forces and critical currents have been derived. The analysis shows that the stiffness of the in-vessel coils provides the stability of the coils with sufficient safety margins.

A linearly polarized electromagnetic source wave splits into six traveling wave modes (three of them are right-hand circularly-polarized (RCP) modes and three are left-hand circularly-polarized (LCP) modes) due to the interaction with a suddenly created magnetoplasma medium. When the angular frequency of the source wave is in the low-frequency region, the magnetoplasma supports two whistler wave modes (one is the transmitted RCP and the other is the reflected LCP). It is shown that the efficiency of energy conversion of the LCP whistler wave mode into the magnetic field of the wiggler is nearly of the same order of magnitude as the efficiency of the previously considered energy conversion of the RCP whistler wave mode.

A new vacuum system is designed and developed on the Joint Texas Experimental tokamak (J-TEXT), which consists of two pumping stations, a Taylor discharge cleaning (TDC) system and gas puffing. With this system, the vacuum vessel of the J-TEXT tokamak can easily reach the vacuum conditions which allow the operation of the machine. The sub-control system of the vacuum pumping systems with the self-protection function is reliable and easy to use. Inside the chamber, the base pressure can be lowered to 6.4×10−6 Pa, and the total leakage and outgassing rates in 12 h is below 1.5×10−8 Pa m3/s. Moreover, the TDC sub-system is used to clean the first facing walls of vacuum chamber to guarantee good wall conditions of the device before each run of the experimental campaign on the J-TEXT tokamak. The basic functions of the vacuum system meet the essential requirements for the present experiments on the J-TEXT tokamak.

This paper presents the analysis of the geometrical components in the evaluation of the spectral resolution of X-ray bent crystal spectrometers. A toroidal Johann–Johansson type spectrometer is suggested and its resolution is estimated. Emphasis is made on the study of asymmetrically cut schemes. Generally used expansion techniques up to second order are added by calculations of the third term where second order becomes zero.

Microplasma was produced in argon gas in a scanning electron microscope at near-atmospheric pressure using a multi-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) film as a cathode. It is demonstrated that with the CNT film used as a cathode, the breakdown voltage was much lower than the breakdown voltage when the conventional cathode made of flat metal film was used and the discharge was highly reproducible. These features of the gas discharge are defined by the field emission from the CNT cathode.

In order to measure the internal structure of fluctuation, a broadband frequency-tunable system, which has a fast and stable hopping operation, has been developed in the large helical device. For constructing an accurate heterodyne phase detection system, a single-sideband (SSB) modulation technique is applied. Recently, high performance (SSB) modulators have been available in the wide band frequency range and its sideband rejection is around−20 dB. The frequency multiplier and mixer deformed the signal and the band-pass filter is used effectively to attain high signal-to-noise ratio.

Fiberform nanostructured tungsten is formed on tungsten surface by helium plasma irradiation under a specific condition. It is revealed that the optical reflectivity of tungsten is significantly decreased by the formation of the nanostructure. We present the experimentally obtained necessary condition to form the structure in the linear plasma device NAGDIS-II. We investigate the effects of laser irradiation to the helium-irradiated surface on the optical reflectivity. It is revealed that the sub-ms laser pulse irradiation alleviates the surface roughness and recovers the optical reflectivity. However, when the structure is finer, the recovery rate becomes low, typically less than half; moreover, it decreases with the number of pulses.

In fusion experiments, plasma erodes walls of devices containing various elements including carbon. The eroded carbon penetrates into edge plasma and is transported backwards forming the carbon-adsorbed layers on the surfaces of components like mirrors for optical plasma diagnostics. To characterize the carbon-adsorbed layers by measuring energy distribution of particles reflected from the surface, we have used the experimental setup equipped with a magnetic deflection momentum analyzer and the time-of-flight energy analyzer of neutrals. Ion beams in the energy range 1–2 keV irradiated the samples of Mo and W with carbon deposition on them that were prepared in separate plasma chambers. The beams produced ions and neutrals with characteristic emission angle and energy distribution depending upon conditions of the sample surfaces. Experimental results are compared with the numerical calculation model ACAT (Atomic Collisions in Amorphous Targets) and the evaluations on how the structure of deposition layers may affect the particle reflection on solid surfaces were made.

In-vessel mirrors are necessary for optical diagnostics of plasmas in next-step fusion devices. These mirrors will be under the influence of the harsh fusion environment, and in these conditions the mirror material should perform its functions. This article describes experiments that have been carried out to evaluate the prospect of amorphous mirrors retaining their optical characteristics under the impact of deuterium or argon plasma ions of different energy. The experiments were undertaken with the use of mirror samples prepared from amorphous alloys Vitreloy-1 and Vitreloy-4. The data reported demonstrate the principal ability of mirrors made of amorphous materials to preserve the initial optical quality in the process of long-term sputtering, and should be considered as proof of the possibility of using amorphous metal mirrors in the erosion-dominated zone of a fusion reactor.
