Possible restoration of particle-hole symmetry in the 5/2-quantized Hall state at small magnetic field

Frédéric Mila, Loïc Jean Pierre Herviou

Motivated by the experimental observation of a quantized 5/2 thermal conductance at filling nu = 5/2, a result incompatible with both the Pfaffian and the anti-Pfaffian states, we have pushed the expansion of the effective Hamiltonian of the 5/2-quantized ...

ICRH assisted breakdown study on JET

Thomas Binderup Jensen, Benoît Labit, Haomin Sun

Ion cyclotron (IC) wave assisted breakdown has the potential to increase the robustness of plasma initiation during the ITER pre-fusion operation phase. Studies were performed at JET at ITER relevant loop electric field, E-loop ? 0.33 Vm(-1), and a range o ...

A diamond spin qubit scanning probe microscope

Dinesh Kevin Mathais Pinto

The properties of a physical system only exist in relation to its environment. This thesis presents the development of a novel spin qubit scanning probe microscope operating over a wide range of environmental conditions. The qubit, which sits at the heart ...

Plasma sputtering of biased electrodes in an oblique magnetic field

Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno, Alessandro Geraldini

The surface erosion of biased electrodes immersed in a radio frequency (RF) plasma was investigated in oblique magnetic fields ranging from 0.1 T to 3.5 T. The plasma potential and density in the vicinity of the biased electrode have been measured using an ...

Experimental study of stability, quench propagation and detection methods on 15 kA sub-scale HTS fusion conductors in SULTAN

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy, Ortensia Dicuonzo

High-temperature superconductors (HTSs) enable exclusive operating conditions for fusion magnets, boosting their performance up to 20 T generated magnetic fields in the temperature range from 4 K to 20 K. One of the main technological issues of HTS conduct ...

Study of correlations between LOC/SOC transition, intrinsic toroidal rotation reversal and TEM/ITG bifurcation with different working gases in TCV

Basil Duval, Aylwin Iantchenko, Filippo Bagnato, Oleg Krutkin

The effects of different working gases on the transition from linear ohmic confinement (LOC) regime to saturated ohmic confinement (SOC) regime and its relation to the intrinsic toroidal rotation reversal phenomenon were explored in the TCV tokamak. The en ...

Linear and nonlinear excitation of TAE modes by external electromagnetic perturbations using ORB5

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino, Emmanuel Lanti, Mohsen Sadr

The excitation of toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) using prescribed external electromagnetic perturbations (hereafter 'antenna') acting on a confined toroidal plasma, as well as its nonlinear couplings to other modes in the system, is studied. ...

The DEMO magnet system - Status and future challenges

Rainer Wesche, Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti, Kamil Sedlák, Roberto Guarino, Mithlesh Kumar, Vincenzo D'Auria, Ortensia Dicuonzo, Chiara Frittitta, Federica Demattè

We present the pre-concept design of the European DEMO Magnet System, which has successfully passed the DEMO plant-level gate review in 2020. The main design input parameters originate from the so-called DEMO 2018 baseline, which was produced using the PRO ...

Electromechanical investigations and quench experiments on sub-size HTS cables for high field EU-DEMO Central Solenoid

Ortensia Dicuonzo

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanical and thermal behaviour of HTS coated conductor cables for EUROfusion DEMO magnets. One of the issue in large HTS magnets is the safety against a quench. A quench is a sudden thermal runway in which the ...
