Title: A Study of Thin Foil Explosion

Abstract

The explosion of thin flat and cylindrical foils has been studied here on the BIN (270 kA, 100-ns rise time), XP (500 kA, 100-ns rise time), and COBRA (1.0 MA, 100-ns rise time) pulsedpower generators. On all three generators, hybrid and standard 4-wire X-pinches were used to provide soft X-ray radiography with better than 3-μm spatial resolution and 1-ns temporal resolution. This enabled a detailed exploration of the dependence of the exploded structure of the foil on its initial structure and the current density flowing through it. With sufficient current density in the foils, bubbles were observed to form in the center of the foils; the higher the current density, the larger is the bubble diameters.

Early Stage of the Explosion of Thin Flat Foils in a High-Current Diode at a Current of 40–80 kA

Journal Article Tilikina, I. N. ; Shelkovenkoa, T. A. ; Mingaleeva, A. R. ; ... - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

The initial stage of the nanosecond explosion of 1–15 μm-thick flat foils in a diode with a current of 40–80 kA is studied. Projection radiography is used to take images of exploded foils at a spatial resolution of 3–4 μm using the soft X-ray radiation (E = 2.5–5 keV) of a hybrid X-pinch and at a time resolution of 0.1 ns. Foil strips 0.3–2 mm wide and 0.5–7 mm long were introduced in the return circuit of the diode in a high-current BIN generator with a current amplitude of 270 kA and a current rise time of 100 ns; themore »« less

Study of Electric Explosion of Flat Micron-Thick Foils at Current Densities of (5–50)×10 ⁸A/cm ²

Journal Article Shelkovenko, T. A. ; Pikuz, S. A. ; Tilikin, I. N. ; ... - Plasma Physics Reports

Electric explosions of flat Al, Тi, Ni, Cu, and Та foils with thicknesses of 1–16 μm, widths of 1–8 mm, and lengths of 5–11 mm were studied experimentally on the BIN, XP, and COBRA high-current generators at currents of 40–1000 kA and current densities of (5–50) × 10 ⁸A/cm ². The images of the exploded foils were taken at different angles to the foil surface by using point projection radiography with an X-pinch hot spot as the radiation source, the spatial resolution and exposure time being 3 μm and 50 ps, respectively, as well by the laser probing method withmore »« less

Study of the structure of exploding flat foils at superhigh current density

Journal Article Shelkovenko, T. A. ; Pikuz, S. A. ; Tilikin, I. N. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We have investigated the features produced in flat metal foils as a result of nanosecond explosions and phase transitions at current densities of (0.1–2) • 10 ⁹A/cm ². Thin foils made of aluminum, copper, nickel, and titanium, with thicknesses of 1–15 μm, were tested. Here, the exploded foil structure was studied using X-pinch radiography and laser shadow imaging. Al, Ti, and Cu (5 and 7 μm thick) foils had an initial two-dimensional structure. At the same time, no apparent structure was registered in 1 μm Cu and 5 μm Ni foils. Experiments on generators with different output parameters have shownmore »« less

Multi frame synchrotron radiography of pulsed power driven underwater single wire explosions

Journal Article Yanuka, D. ; Rososhek, A. ; Theocharous, S. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We present herein the first use of synchrotron-based phase contrast radiography to study pulsed-power driven high energy density physics experiments. Underwater electrical wire explosions have become of interest to the wider physics community due to their ability to study material properties at extreme conditions and efficiently couple stored electrical energy into intense shock waves in water. The latter can be shaped to provide convergent implosions, resulting in very high pressures (1-10 Mbar) produced on relatively small pulsed power facilities (100s of kA-MA). Multiple experiments have explored single-wire explosions in water, hoping to understand the underlying physics and better optimize thismore »« less
