Modelling of advanced three-ion ICRF heating and fast ion generation scheme for tokamaks and stellarators

Jonathan Graves, Laurent Villard, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Samuel Lanthaler

Absorption of ion-cyclotron range of frequencies waves at the fundamental resonance is an efficient source of plasma heating and fast ion generation in tokamaks and stellarators. This heating method is planned to be exploited as a fast ion source in the We ...

Transition metal clusters on h-BN/Rh(111) : surface interaction and catalytic activity

Hamed Achour

The main aim of this dissertation is to study the catalytic aspects of very small transition metal clusters supported on h-BN/Rh(111). The catalytic reactions of interest were ammonia synthesis and CO oxidation on mass selected and soft landed iron and pla ...

Ion heating and flows in a high power helicon source

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Gennady Plyushchev

We report experimental measurements of ion temperatures and flows in a high power, linear, magnetized, helicon plasma device, the Resonant Antenna Ion Device (RAID). Parallel and perpendicular ion temperatures on the order of 0.6 eV are observed for an rf ...

Weekly to monthly time scale of melt inclusion entrapment prior to eruption recorded by phosphorus distribution in olivine from mid-ocean ridges

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Lukas Baumgartner, Othmar Müntener

Melt inclusions (MIs) hosted in euhedral olivine have been proposed to represent droplets of primary melt, protected from processes occurring near Earth's surface during eruption. The complex zoning of phosphorus (P) in some olivines and the presence of a ...

Intrinsic Halide Segregation at Nanometer Scale Determines the High Efficiency of Mixed Cation/Mixed Halide Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Kevin Sivula, Iwan Zimmermann, Giulia Grancini, Yonghui Lee, Paul Gratia, Xavier Adrian Jeanbourquin

Compositional engineering of a mixed cation/mixed halide perovskite in the form of (FAP-bI(3))(0.85)(MAPbBr(3))(0.15) is one of the most effective strategies to obtain record-efficiency perovskite solar cells. However, the perovskite self-organization upon ...

Fragmentation in Time-of-Flight Spectrometry-Based Calculations of Ionic Electrospray Thruster Performance

Herbert Shea, Daniel George Courtney

A method has been presented for accounting for ion fragmentation that occurs within the nonzero field of an ionic electrospray thruster. Given the complexities associated with direct thrust measurements, indirect means (and time-of-flight (TOF) in particul ...
