Deuterium Uptake in Magnetic-Fusion Devices with Lithium-Conditioned Carbon Walls

Journal Article Krstic, Predrag S. ; Allain, J. P. ; Taylor, C. N. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Lithium wall conditioning has lowered hydrogenic recycling and dramatically improved plasma performance in many magnetic-fusion devices. In this Letter, we report quantum-classical atomistic simulations and laboratory experiments that elucidate the roles of lithium and oxygen in the uptake of hydrogen in amorphous carbon. Surprisingly, we show that lithium creates a high oxygen concentration on a carbon surface when bombarded by deuterium. Furthermore, surface oxygen, rather than lithium, plays the key role in trapping hydrogen.

Fusion applications for lithium: wall conditioning in magnetic confinement devices

Journal Article Kaita, Robert - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

The application of lithium to plasma facing components (PFCs) has been widely used to improve plasma performance in magnetic confinement devices. The ability of lithium to retain hydrogen isotopes has been exploited to lower wall recycling. Low recycling leads to high edge plasma temperatures, and decreased temperature gradients reduce the free energy source for microinstabilities that cause transport. A variety of techniques have been developed to introduce lithium into fusion research devices, and its beneficial effects have been observed in their plasmas. The mechanism for the retention of hydrogen isotopes has been elucidated by detailed surface science studies, and 'firstmore »« less

Surface conditioning of fusion devices by carbonization: Hydrogen recycling and wall pumping

Journal Article Winter, J - J. Vac. Sci. Technol., A; (United States)

Measurements made in the tokamak Torus Experiment for Technology Oriented Research (TEXTOR) with carbonized graphite limiters and carbonized Inconel liner (''all carbon machine'') and from a carbonized simulation vessel are presented and discussed with particular emphasis on hydrogen recycling phenomena. The hydrogen recycling during tokamak discharges is strongly affected by the wall temperature. Slow loading or deloading of the wall with hydrogen occurs at low (150 /sup 0/C) wall temperatures, whereas stationary conditions are reached rapidly at 350 /sup 0/C. At 350 /sup 0/C, recycling coefficients smaller than 1 can be achieved. Active density control during tokamak discharges is demonstratedmore »« less

TOMAS - A Toroidal Magnetized Plasma Facility for Studying Wall Conditioning of Future Fusion Devices

Journal Article Stoerk, H B ; Winter, J ; Ihde, J ; ... - Fusion Science and Technology

The TOroidal MAgnetized System (TOMAS) is a simple magnetized torus dedicated to the investigation of wall conditioning methods by microwave-induced plasmas. In the TOMAS facility, an electron cyclotron resonance plasma is produced by microwaves at a frequency of 2.45 GHz and the corresponding resonant magnetic field of 87.6 mT. The facility and the first operational experience of film deposition by means of methane plasmas are described.
