Boronization is used in present-devices as wall condition technique due to its effectiveness in reducing oxygen and other impurities in the vessel as well as improving plasma performance. The technique is also currently under consideration as wall conditioning method for the proposed full-tungsten (W) wall of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). However, the impact of the deposited Boron (B) layer thickness, and its homogeneity after the boronization process is uncertain as well as knowledge about the layer lifetime and improved conditions. In this study, an approach of the picosecond-laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (ps-LIBS) is investigated to analyze the depth distribution of B-films on W-substrates by using three optical spectrometers in a vacuum environment. The depth distribution of two types of B-films on W-substrates with the thicknesses of 130 nm and 260 nm were sequentially measured under different laser spot sizes (varying the laser fluence). The B-films on the W-substrates were made by magnetron sputtering to simulate the thin B layers during the boronization. The measured average ablation rate of ps-LIBS shows a notable decrease with increasing laser spot size. Additionally, the spectral lines of B and W exhibit distinct intensity distributions under different spot sizes due to the different excitation thresholds of the B-films and the W-substrates. The interface between B-films and W-substrates, as well as the thickness of the B-films, were determined using the normalized intensity and intensity ratio method, respectively. The results from ps-LIBS measurements regarding the depth are in good agreement with those obtained through the Focused Ion Beam combined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). These initial findings verify the feasibility to characterize the thickness and uniformity of thin B films in the order of 100 nm and below on W-substrates using ps-LIBS.
由于硼化技术能有效减少容器中的氧气和其他杂质,并能提高等离子体的性能,因此在目前的设备中被用作器壁调节技术。目前,国际热核聚变实验堆(ITER)正在考虑将这种技术作为拟建的全钨(W)壁的壁调节方法。然而,硼化过程后沉积硼(B)层厚度及其均匀性的影响,以及有关硼层寿命和改进条件的知识都是不确定的。本研究采用皮秒激光诱导击穿光谱(ps-LIBS)方法,在真空环境中使用三台光学光谱仪分析 W 基板上硼膜的深度分布。在不同激光光斑尺寸(改变激光能量)条件下,依次测量了 W 基片上厚度分别为 130 nm 和 260 nm 的两种 B 膜的深度分布。W 基片上的 B 膜是通过磁控溅射制造的,以模拟硼化过程中的薄 B 层。测得的 ps-LIBS 平均烧蚀率随着激光光斑尺寸的增大而明显下降。此外,由于硼薄膜和 W 基质的激发阈值不同,在不同光斑尺寸下,硼和 W 的光谱线呈现出不同的强度分布。利用归一化强度和强度比方法分别确定了 B 膜和 W 基底之间的界面以及 B 膜的厚度。ps-LIBS的深度测量结果与聚焦离子束结合扫描电子显微镜(FIB-SEM)和能量色散 X 射线光谱(EDS)获得的结果十分吻合。这些初步发现验证了利用 ps-LIBS 测定 W 基底上 100 纳米及以下 B 薄膜厚度和均匀性的可行性。

This study employs first-principles calculations to investigate the structural, electronic, and mechanical properties of La1-xMxB6 (M = Ba, Sr, Ca), focusing on the surface work function, elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Debye temperature, and melting point. The results indicate that doping generally leads to a reduction in the surface work function, with La0.375Ba0.625B6 achieving a work function as low as 1.27 eV. The influence of doping concentration on the mechanical properties and anisotropy is analyzed, revealing that La1-xMxB6 and La0.5Sr0.5B6 exhibit oscillatory changes related to the layered structure of the dopants. Brittleness is assessed through the B/G ratio and Poisson’s ratio. Thermodynamic analysis shows that the melting points of these compounds exceed 2000 K.

As part of ITER’s consideration to change its first wall material from beryllium to tungsten, the ITER Organization has proposed studying the feasibility of real-time solid boron injection (SBI) into the plasma to coat the walls and divertor to supplement glow discharge boronization (GDB) [1]. Boron deposits getter oxygen and reduce sputtering of tungsten from plasma facing components (PFCs). Particularly in areas with significant plasma wall interactions, boron coatings are expected to be short-lived under high performance plasma conditions. The proposed SBI system aims to maintain boron layers in these areas to avoid excessive radiation from tungsten in the plasma as a risk mitigation to ensure ITER will be able to reach and sustain Q = 10 conditions. The system will be used sparingly, as redeposition of boron can lead to significant tritium retention, which must be minimized in ITER to comply with nuclear safety concerns. SBI is proposed to limit and precisely control the amount of boron injected in real-time during plasma operation. Here, some of the design requirements and initial concepts for an SBI system in ITER are presented based on previous results carried out with SBI systems on a number of tokamaks and stellarators around the world [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18].
Previous results using SBI systems installed by PPPL have injected boron particles from 5 µm–2 mm diameter at calibrated rates of 2–200 mg/s in real-time during plasma operation on AUG [4], DIII-D [5], EAST [6], KSTAR [7], LHD [8], TFTR [9], WEST [10], and W7-X [11], [12], leading to improved wall conditions with reduced plasma impurity concentrations and radiated power and improved plasma performance. The boron is ionized in the plasma edge and then deposited on plasma-wetted surfaces. On AUG [4], EAST [6] and WEST [10] reduced tungsten sputtering sources were observed following several discharges with SBI. Extrapolation of these SBI results are presented to estimate the amount of boron needed for wall conditioning in ITER. Real-time SBI control requirements and plasma operation scenarios for ITER are also described.
作为热核实验堆将其第一壁材料从铍改为钨的考虑的一部分,热核实验堆组织建议研究向等离子体中实时注入固体硼(SBI)的可行性,以便对壁和分流器进行涂层,补充辉光放电硼化(GDB)[1]。硼可沉积获取氧,减少等离子体面组件(PFC)中钨的溅射。特别是在等离子体壁相互作用明显的区域,硼涂层在高性能等离子体条件下的寿命预计会很短。拟议的 SBI 系统旨在维持这些区域的硼层,以避免等离子体中钨的过度辐射,从而降低风险,确保热核实验堆能够达到并维持 Q = 10 的条件。该系统将尽量少用,因为硼的再沉积会导致大量氚的滞留,而在热核实验堆中必须尽量减少氚的滞留,以符合核安全要求。建议使用 SBI 来限制和精确控制等离子体运行期间实时注入的硼量。在此,根据以前在世界各地的一些托卡马克和恒星器上使用 SBI 系统取得的成果,介绍了热核实验堆中 SBI 系统的一些设计要求和初步概念[2]、[3]、[4]、[5]、[6]、[7]、[8]、[9]、[10]、[11]、[12]、[13]、[14]、[15]、[16]、[17]、[18]。PPPL 安装的 SBI 系统在 AUG[4]、DIII-D[5]、EAST[6]、KSTAR[7]、LHD[8]、TFTR[9]、WEST[10]和 W7-X [11]、[12]的等离子体运行期间,以 2-200 mg/s 的校准速率实时注入了直径为 5 µm-2 mm 的硼粒子,从而改善了壁面条件,降低了等离子体杂质浓度和辐射功率,并提高了等离子体性能。硼在等离子体边缘电离,然后沉积在等离子体润湿的表面上。在 AUG[4]、EAST[6]和 WEST[10]上,使用 SBI 进行几次放电后,观察到钨溅射源减少了。对这些 SBI 结果进行了推断,以估算热核实验堆中壁面调节所需的硼量。还介绍了热核实验堆的实时 SBI 控制要求和等离子体运行方案。

Irradiation-induced cascade collisions produce numerous point defects within materials, which can severely deteriorate their thermo-mechanical properties and overall performance. We propose a computational scheme that combines molecular dynamic (MD) simulations with a denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) to rapidly and accurately predict the spatial coordinates of point defects at any given primary knock atom (PKA) energy, ranging from 0 to 100.0 keV. Importantly, this capability extends to PKA energies that are exclusive from the training data set, demonstrating the robustness and generalizability of the model. The proposed scheme has been thoroughly validated by several designed indicators, including the Fréchet inception distance, the number of point defects, the distance from vacancies and self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) to their respective centroids, the inter-centroid distance between the vacancies and SIAs, the probability density of clustered defect sizes, and the sub-cascade number. Compared to MD simulations, the DDPM can generate point defects at a specific PKA energy at least ten thousand times faster. By offering a rapid and reliable means to model defect distributions across various energy levels, the proposed scheme benefits the comprehension of the cascade process and provides a valuable database for both experimental investigations and large-scale simulations.
辐照诱导的级联碰撞会在材料内部产生大量点缺陷,严重恶化材料的热机械性能和整体性能。我们提出了一种将分子动力学(MD)模拟与去噪扩散概率模型(DDPM)相结合的计算方案,可快速准确地预测任何给定原初磕碰原子(PKA)能量(0 至 100.0 千伏)下的点缺陷空间坐标。重要的是,这种能力扩展到了训练数据集中不存在的 PKA 能量,证明了模型的稳健性和通用性。所提出的方案通过几个设计指标进行了全面验证,包括弗雷谢特起始距离、点缺陷数量、空位和自间隙原子(SIAs)到各自中心点的距离、空位和 SIAs 之间的中心点间距、成团缺陷大小的概率密度以及子级联数。与 MD 模拟相比,DDPM 在特定 PKA 能量下生成点缺陷的速度至少快一万倍。通过提供一种快速、可靠的方法来模拟不同能级的缺陷分布,所提出的方案有利于理解级联过程,并为实验研究和大规模模拟提供了宝贵的数据库。

在 λ∼557-643nm 波长范围内观测到的 D2 分子带发射被用来测量 PISCES-A 和 PISCES-RF 线性等离子体装置的 D 等离子体中的电子密度 ne。D2 波段在 λ=593nm 处被划分为 D2L(∼557-593nm)/D2R(∼593-643nm)强度比,其中 D2L 主要由 g3Σg+3dσ 组成、h3Σg+3sσ、i3Πg3dπ、j3Δg3dδ → c3Πu2pπ 转变,而 D2R 主要包括 d3Πu3pπ → a3Σg+2sσ 富彻带发射。实验发现,在 ne∼(0.031-6.1)×1018 m-3 和 Te∼2.3-13.9eV 的范围内,D2L/D2R 与 ne 的关系很大,而与 Te 的关系不大。观察到的这一趋势与利用网上 Yacora 进行的碰撞-辐射模型计算相一致。

Investigation of H-mode density limit in mixed protium–deuterium plasmas at JET with ITER-like wall 在具有类似国际热核聚变实验堆(ITER)壁的 JET 上研究氕氘混合等离子体中的 H 模式密度极限

Analysis of comparable discharges fuelled by either deuterium or protium reveals a clear relationship between the isotope mass and the H-mode density limit. Notably, the density limit is significantly lower in protium, showing a reduction of up to 35 % compared to identical deuterium plasma conditions. Within mixed H-mode density limit (HDL) plasmas, the maximum achievable density, or H-mode density limit, decreases with increasing protium concentration, denoted as cH. For instance, the highest corresponding maximum Greenwald fraction (fGW) of about 1.02 was observed in the pulse with the lowest cH value of 4.4 %. This fGW decreases to 0.96 at cH = 48 %. The average atomic mass, A¯, of the plasma species decreases in these pulses from the value of 1.96 (cH = 4.4 %) down to 1.52 (cH = 48 %). Interestingly, the maximum achievable density appears to be largely unaffected by the applied power value, regardless of whether deuterium or protium is used, as well as under mixed H/D fuelling conditions.
Additionally, the measured Greenwald fractions are agreed with a heuristic model based on the SOL pressure threshold of an MHD instability, as proposed by Goldston. This comparison, especially concerning the model’s dependence on isotopic mass, shows full consistency between the measured and predicted Greenwald fractions.
对以氘或氕为燃料的可比放电进行分析后发现,同位素质量与 H 模式密度极限之间存在明显的关系。值得注意的是,氕的密度极限明显降低,与相同的氘等离子体条件相比,降低幅度高达 35%。在混合 H 模式密度极限(HDL)等离子体中,可达到的最大密度或 H 模式密度极限会随着氕浓度(表示为 cH)的增加而降低。例如,在 cH 值最低(4.4%)的脉冲中观察到的相应最大格林瓦尔德分数(fGW)最高,约为 1.02。当 cH = 48 % 时,该 fGW 降至 0.96。在这些脉冲中,等离子体物种的平均原子质量 A¯ 从 1.96(cH = 4.4 %)下降到 1.52(cH = 48 %)。有趣的是,无论使用的是氘还是氕,以及在氢/氘混合燃料条件下,可达到的最大密度似乎基本不受应用功率值的影响。此外,测得的格林瓦尔德分数与戈德斯顿提出的基于 MHD 不稳定的 SOL 压力阈值的启发式模型一致。这种比较,特别是关于模型对同位素质量的依赖性的比较,表明测量和预测的格林瓦尔德分数完全一致。

Radiation transport simulations of the deuterium Lyman line series using EIRENE predict a factor of 2 increase of Balmer-α emission in the JET-ILW low confinement divertor plasmas in high-recycling and detached conditions caused by the re-absorption of Lyman-β emission. The photon tracing model in the EIRENE code is applied to SOLPS-ITER pure deuterium plasma solutions of JET-ILW to evaluate the contribution of Lyman-β capture towards the population density of D(p=3) and, consequently, the Balmer-α emission. The local population escape factors of Lyman-α and Lyman-β lines in the JET-ILW divertor show steep spatial gradients and indicate local regions with high opacity in high-recycling and detached conditions. The relative contribution of Lyman-β capture towards the population density of D(p=3) is significant in high-recycling and detached conditions. This observation is further corroborated by line-integrated calculations using Balmer-α diagnostic line-of-sights.
利用 EIRENE 对氘莱曼线系列进行的辐射传输模拟预测,在高循环和分离条件下,JET-ILW 低约束分流器等离子体中的 Balmer-α 发射将增加 2 倍,这是由于莱曼-β 发射的再吸收造成的。将 EIRENE 代码中的光子追踪模型应用于 JET-ILW 的 SOLPS-ITER 纯氘等离子体溶液,以评估莱曼-β 捕获对 D(p=3) 种群密度的贡献,以及因此对巴尔默-α 发射的贡献。在 JET-ILW 分流器中,Lyman-α 和 Lyman-β 线的局域群逸散因子显示出陡峭的空间梯度,表明在高循环和分离条件下,局域具有高不透明度。在高循环和分离条件下,Lyman-β俘获对D(p=3)群密度的相对贡献很大。利用巴尔默-α诊断视线进行的线积分计算进一步证实了这一观测结果。

Full-torus impurity transport simulation in boron powder injection experiments in the Large Helical Device 大型螺旋装置中硼粉末注入实验的全副弦杂质输运模拟

The toroidal distribution of boron deposition on plasma-facing components (PFCs) in boron powder injection using an impurity power dropper (IPD) was investigated by full-torus simulation and observations in a systematic plasma density-scan experiment. The images of the ablation of dropped boron powders observed with a visible CCD camera were consistently explained by the simulations of the ablation positions of the boron powders considering the size distribution. Simulations assuming full-torus boron deposition on the PFCs did not reproduce the observed intensity profile of boron emission lines for higher plasma densities. It indicated that the density of boron deposited on PFCs installed toroidally far from the IPD was low for higher plasma densities due to the change in the ablation positions of the boron powders toward the outboard side. The experimental results verified the previous full-torus simulation of the toroidal distribution of the boron deposition in both lower and higher plasma densities.
在使用杂质功率滴注器(IPD)注入硼粉末的过程中,通过在系统性等离子体密度扫描实验中进行的全全周模拟和观测,研究了硼沉积在等离子体面元件(PFC)上的环形分布。用可见光 CCD 相机观察到的滴落硼粉的烧蚀图像与考虑到尺寸分布的硼粉烧蚀位置模拟结果一致。在等离子体密度较高的情况下,假定硼在 PFC 上全周沉积的模拟无法再现所观察到的硼发射线强度曲线。这表明,在等离子体密度较高时,由于硼粉的烧蚀位置向外侧变化,在远离 IPD 的环形安装的 PFC 上沉积的硼密度较低。实验结果验证了之前对较低和较高等离子体密度下硼沉积环形分布的全环形模拟。

Molybdenum-Rhenium (Mo-Re) alloys are considered core materials for advanced nuclear reactor components due to their excellent mechanical properties, machinability, and resistance to irradiation damage. However, irradiation-induced embrittlement and phase precipitation at high temperatures, along with transmutation nuclides, have hindered their broader application. To address this, we developed a Mo-Re interatomic potential using the Finnis-Sinclair formalism, facilitating molecular dynamics simulations to study primary irradiation damage. Systemically primary irradiation damage simulations for Mo and Mo-Re alloys have been performed. It’s found that there were more Frenkel-pair defects produced during the stage of thermal spike in Mo-Re alloys but fewer defects survived at the end of the cascade compared to Mo. In addition, the number of large-size interstitial clusters and dislocation loops was higher in Mo-Re alloys than in pure Mo with the same PKA energy. This is mainly attributed to the fact that Mo-Re alloys have lower thermal conductivity, while the binding energies of interstitial clusters and dislocation loops with sizes less than 100 in Mo-Re alloys are comparable to those of pure Mo, resulting in higher defect composites and larger defect sizes in Mo-Re alloys. These findings provide valuable insights into the primary damage mechanisms in Mo-Re alloys under irradiation, offering a foundation for developing kinetic models to simulate radiation-induced microstructural evolution.
钼-铼(Mo-Re)合金具有优异的机械性能、机械加工性能和抗辐照损伤性能,因此被认为是先进核反应堆部件的核心材料。然而,辐照诱发的脆性和高温下的相析出以及嬗变核素阻碍了它们的广泛应用。为了解决这个问题,我们利用 Finnis-Sinclair 形式主义开发了一种 Mo-Re 原子间势,便于分子动力学模拟研究原生辐照损伤。我们对 Mo 和 Mo-Re 合金进行了系统的原生辐照损伤模拟。结果发现,Mo-Re 合金在热尖峰阶段产生的 Frenkel 对缺陷较多,但与 Mo 相比,在级联结束时存活的缺陷较少。此外,在 PKA 能量相同的情况下,Mo-Re 合金中大尺寸间隙簇和位错环的数量高于纯 Mo。这主要是由于 Mo-Re 合金的热导率较低,而 Mo-Re 合金中尺寸小于 100 的间隙团簇和位错环的结合能与纯钼相当,从而导致 Mo-Re 合金中的缺陷复合度较高,缺陷尺寸较大。这些发现为了解辐照下 Mo-Re 合金的主要损伤机制提供了宝贵的见解,为开发动力学模型模拟辐照诱导的微结构演变奠定了基础。

For the first time, we have revealed the spatial structure of a detached plasma with electron–ion recombination (EIR) and molecular-activated recombination (MAR) in response to changes in ion temperature (Ti) and gas pressure. This was achieved using high-density sheet plasma generated by a linear divertor simulator (TPDsheet-ICR). The parallel-plate electrodes were positioned above and below the sheet plasma (∼1019 m−3). We varied the Ti from 3 to 7 eV using ion cyclotron resonance heating and investigated the parameters of the detached plasma near the target in the divergent field region. Plasma emission intensities at Balmer series (Hα and Hγ) and Fulcher band wavelengths (610 ± 10 nm) were measured with a high-speed camera equipped with an Arbaa prism. Additionally, a Langmuir probe measured the electron density and temperature of the plasma. Our results show that as the Ti increases, EIR generated near the plasma periphery disappears, while MAR gradually forms near the plasma center during the transition from detached to attached plasma. This transition occurs because the increase in Ti in the detached plasma transfers energy from ions to electrons, raising the high-energy component of the electrons, resulting in EIR disappearance and the onset of MAR.
我们首次揭示了具有电子-离子重组(EIR)和分子激活重组(MAR)的分离等离子体的空间结构对离子温度(Ti)和气体压力变化的响应。这是利用线性分流器模拟器(TPDsheet-ICR)产生的高密度片状等离子体实现的。平行板电极位于片状等离子体(1019 m-3)的上方和下方。我们利用离子回旋共振加热将钛从 3 eV 变为 7 eV,并研究了发散场区域目标附近分离等离子体的参数。等离子体在巴尔默波段(Hα 和 Hγ)和富尔彻波段(610 ± 10 nm)的发射强度是通过配备 Arbaa 棱镜的高速相机测量的。此外,朗缪尔探针还测量了等离子体的电子密度和温度。我们的结果表明,随着钛的增加,等离子体外围产生的 EIR 消失了,而 MAR 则在等离子体中心附近从分离等离子体过渡到附着等离子体的过程中逐渐形成。发生这种转变的原因是分离等离子体中 Ti 的增加将能量从离子转移到电子,从而提高了电子的高能分量,导致 EIR 消失和 MAR 开始出现。
