Nematic-like stable glasses without equilibrium liquid crystal phases

Dataset Gomez, Jaritza ; Gujral, Ankit ; Huang, Chengbin ; ...

We report the thermal and structural properties of glasses of posaconazole, a rod-like molecule, prepared using physical vapor deposition (PVD). PVD glasses of posaconazole can show substantial molecular orientation depending upon the choice of substrate temperature, Tsubstrate, during deposition.Ellipsometry and IR measurements indicate that glasses prepared at Tsubstrate very near the glass transition temperature (Tg) are highly ordered. For these posaconazole glasses, the orientation order parameter is similar to that observed in macroscopically aligned nematic liquid crystals, indicating that the molecules are mostly parallel to one another and perpendicular to the interface. To our knowledge, these are the most anisotropicmore »« less
Vapor-Deposited Glasses with Long-Range Columnar Liquid Crystalline Order

Dataset Gujral, Ankit ; Gomez, Jaritza ; Ruan, Shigang ; ...

Anisotropic molecular packing, particularly in highly ordered liquid crystalline arrangements, has the potential for optimizing performance in organic electronic and optoelectronic applications. Here we show that physical vapor deposition can be used to prepare highly organized glassy solids of discotic liquid crystalline systems. Using grazing incidence X-ray scattering, atomic force microscopy, and UV–vis spectroscopy, we compare three systems: a rectangular columnar liquid crystal, a hexagonal columnar liquid crystal, and a nonmesogen. The packing motifs accessible by vapor deposition are highly organized for the liquid crystalline systems with columns propagating either in plane or out-of-plane depending upon the substrate temperature duringmore »« less
Potential impacts of liquid metal plasma facing components on heating and current drive actuators for a Fusion Nuclear Science Facility

Dataset Wallace, G. M. ; Kessel, C. E. ; Hosea, J. ; ...

This paper addresses the potential impact of liquid metal (LM) plasma facing components (PFCs) for the heating and current drive actuators (H&CD) on the Fusion Nuclear Science Facility (FNSF) fusion reactor. Fulfilling the high neutron fluence mission of the FSNF requires steady-state operation for extremely long pulses (months to years) between maintenance opportunities. The use of liquid metal as a surface material is one strategy for extending the lifetime of the PFCs for long pulse operation in a high heat flux, high neutron flux environment like that of the FNSF. Liquid metal PFCs provide possible pathways forward on many difficultmore »« less
Study of liquid metal surface wave damping in the presence of magnetic fields and electrical currents

Dataset Fisher, A E ; Hvasta, M G ; Kolemen, E

Experiments and predictions of surface wave damping in liquid metal due to a surface aligned magnetic field and externally regulated j × B force are presented. Fast-flowing, liquid-metal plasma facing components (LM-PFCs) are a proposed alternative to solid PFCs that are unable to handle the high heat flux, thermal stresses, and radiation damage in a tokamak. The significant technical challenges associated with LM-PFCs compared to solid PFCs are justified by greater heat flux management, self-healing properties, and reduced particle recycling. However, undesirable engineering challenges such as evaporation and splashing of the liquid metal introduce excessive impurities into the plasma andmore »« less
Plasma Facing Components with Capillary Porous System and Liquid Metal Coolant Flow

Dataset Khodak, Andrei ; Maingi, Rajesh

Liquid metal can create a renewable protective surface on plasma facing components (PFC), with an additional advantage of deuterium pumping and the prospect of tritium extraction if liquid lithium (LL) is used and maintained below 450 C, the temperature above which LL vapor pressure begins to contaminate the plasma. LM can also be utilized as an efficient coolant, driven by the Lorentz force created with the help of the magnetic field in fusion devices. Capillary porous systems can serve as a conduit of LM and simultaneously provide stabilization of the LM flow, protecting against spills into the plasma. Recently amore »« less
