Parylene-N Coatings of Thin Foils for the Mitigation of Neutral Contaminant Desorption and Plasma Formation
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Previous experiments utilizing the planar MITL foil platform (T.J. Smith et al. RSI 2021) on the 1-MA, 100-ns Mykonos facility have shown neutral atomic and molecular hydrogen in the gap after rapid heating of the foil surfaces before breakdown. Additionally, previous attempts at using parylene-N as a coating for power flow surfaces on the 1-MA, 100-ns Zebra facility have shown tamping of the electrothermal instability at thicknesses of 50-60 μm (T.M. Hutchinson et al. Phys. Rev. E 2018).
