Measurement of molybdenum ion density for L-mode and H-mode plasma discharges in the EAST tokamak

We report the measurement of total molybdenum ion density for L-mode and H-mode plasmas on EAST using spectral lines observation and calculation based on an impurity transport code. A flat-filed extreme ultraviolet spectrometer with some spatial resolution is used to obtain the radial profiles of molybdenum spectral line emissions. The absolute calibration for the extreme ultraviolet spectrometer is finished by comparing the calculated bremsstrahlung intensity with the readings of CCD detector. Molybdenum ion transport study is performed using the radial ion density profiles and one-dimensional impurity transport code STRAHL. The total molybdenum density profiles are determined from the transport analysis. The molybdenum density during L-mode and H-mode phases are obtained, which are about 3 and 4 orders of magnitude smaller than the electron density, respectively. An inward pinch is found during the H-mode phase that leads to the peaked profile of molybdenum density.     

The carbon impurity ohmic discharges on particle transport in the HT-7 tokamak

The line-integrated optical measurement of impurity radiation profiles for the study of light impurity transport is performed in the HT-7 tokamak. The carbon impurity line emissivity is obtained by Abel inversion. The radial transport behaviours of carbon impurities at different central line averaged electron densities ne are investigated in ohmic discharges. The diffusion coefficient Dk（r）, the convection velocity Wk（r） and the total flux of the impurity ions Fk decrease with the increase of ne, which shows a reduction in the impurity particle transport at higher electron densities.

HL-lM装置杂质粒子输运与约束特性

在HL-lM装置上利用激光吹气技术,在等离子体边缘瞬态注入少量Al杂质粒子,通过对真空紫外光谱和软X射线区的杂质辐射测量,分别研究了欧姆等离子体和低杂波电流驱动等离子体两种情况下,Al杂质粒子输运与约束特性。结果表明：在欧姆等离子体和低杂波电流驱动等离子体两种情况下,等离子体中心区,在没有MHD锯齿震荡和有MHD锯齿震荡非锯齿破裂期间,杂质粒子输运基本上受新经典规律支配;在有MHD锯齿震荡锯齿破裂期间,杂质粒子输运受MHD不稳定性支配,但其时间很短(通常小于300μs),所以在这种情况下,杂质粒子输运的平均效应比新经典值稍大。而约束区杂质粒子输运则比新经典的值大很多,是反常的。在一定条件下低混杂波电流驱动可以改善等离子体粒子约束。     

Dynamic regime of conduction in a 1D system with a single impurity

A new regime of electron transport through an impurity in 1D conductors, which resembles the Josephson effect in its manifestations, is predicted. Passage of current through the impurity under voltages above the threshold value is accompanied with generation of ac current oscillations. The temperature below which the effect can be observed, the threshold voltage, and the frequency range are determined by the impurity potential and the strength of electron-electron interaction. The generation line width and the current-voltage characteristics are determined.     

Preliminary analysis of impurity transport in HL-2A ohmic discharges

This paper describes the behaviour of impurity transport in HL-2A ohmic discharges. In 2005, small quantities of metallic impurities （A1, Ni and Ti） were successfully injected into HL-2A plasmas by laser blow-off technique, and their progression was followed by the soft x-ray cameras with good spatial and temporal resolutions. The impurity confinement time is estimated from the characteristic decay time of the soft x-ray signal of the injected impurities, and it is about 30-60 ms. The transport coefficients of impurities （including diffusion coefficient and convection velocity） in radial different region have been derived by using a one-dimenslonal impurity transport code, the results present that diffusion coefficient is much smaller in the central region of plasmas than the outside of it, and it is much larger than that of neoclassical theory predictions; namely, it is anomalous.[第一段]

Nitrogen diffusion parameters in ion-implanted tungsten single crystals

Diffusion of nitrogen implanted in single-crystal tungsten was studied in the temperature range 700–820° C. Measurements were carried out using a method of nondestructive determination of diffusivities (developed by the authors) from the dynamics of variation in the surface impurity concentration. The initial distribution and diffusion profiles for various annealing times were determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The relative surface concentration of nitrogen was measured by Auger electron spectroscopy. Several fluxes of impurity atoms in the surface region of ion-doped tungsten were experimentally detected to exist. Under the assumption that the fluxes interact with each other, the temperature dependences of the nitrogen diffusivities in the flux associated with dislocations generated by ion implantation and in the flux associated with the bulk diffusion mechanism were determined. Nitrogen diffusion is characterized by a rather low activation energy, namely, 0.15 and 0.75 eV for dislocation and bulk mechanisms, respectively.     

Investigation of impurity transport using laser blow-off technique in the HL-2A Ohmic and ECRH plasmas

Impurity transports in two neighboring discharges with and without electron cyclotron resonance heating(ECRH)are studied in the HL-2A tokamak by laser blow-off(LBO) technique.The progression of aluminium ions as the trace impurity is monitored by soft x-ray(SXR) and bolometer detector arrays with good temporal and spatial resolutions.Obvious difference in the time trace of the signal between the Ohmic and ECRH L-mode discharges is observed.Based on the numerical simulation with one-dimensional(1D) impurity transport code STRAHL,the radial profiles of impurity diffusion coefficient D and convective velocity V are obtained for each shot.The result shows that the diffusion coefficient D significantly increases throughout the plasma minor radius for the ECRH case with respect to the Ohmic case,and that the convection velocity V changes from negative(inward) for the Ohmic case to partially positive(outward) for the ECRH case.The result on HL-2A confirms the pump out effect of ECRH on impurity profile as reported on various other devices.

Quantum transport in disordered graphene: A theoretical perspective

The present theoretical review puts into perspective simulations of quantum transport properties in disordered graphene-based materials. In particular, specific effects induced by short versus long range scattering on the minimum conductivity, weak (anti-)localization, and strongly insulating regimes are discussed in depth. Using various types of disorder profiles (random fluctuations of the local impurity potential, long range Coulomb scatterers or more intrusive chemical functionalizations), universal aspects of transport as well as novel features in chemically modified graphene-based materials are depicted, especially in the cases of oxygen and hydrogen atoms adsorption. Finally, our theoretical results are compared to experimental measurements.     

Study of Perylenetetracarboxylic Acid Dimethylimide Films by Cyclic Thermal Desorption and Scanning Probe Microscopy

Some results of studying the direct-current (DC) conductivity of perylenetetracarboxylic acid dimethylimide films by cyclic oxygen thermal desorption are presented. The microscopic parameters of hopping electron transport over localized impurity and intrinsic states were determined. The bandgap width and the sign of major current carriers were determined by scanning probe microscopy methods (atomic force microscopy, scanning probe spectroscopy, and photoassisted Kelvin probe force microscopy). The possibility of the application of photoassisted scanning tunneling microscopy for the nanoscale phase analysis of photoconductive films is discussed.     

Radiative energy exhaust by sputtered and seeded impurities in fusion reactor

The combine effect of the seeded and sputtered impurities on the power load to the divertor plate and operation of fusion reactor is investigated in the paper. Since the energy balance depends strongly on coupling between core and scrape of layer (SOL) regions the modelling requires solving the transport problem in both region with the coupling took into account. The energy and particle transport is analyzed numerically with the help of COREDIV code treating self-consistently both regions. In COREDIV the radial 1D energy and particle transport of core plasma is coupled to 2D model of the SOL. The two types of transport model have been used: described by local transport coefficients proposed by Mandrekas and Stacey and transport model proposed by Tokar and determined by several types of drift instabilities. The 2D model is based on Braginskij-like equations for densities and velocity components parallel to magnetic fields and electron and ion temperatures (it was assumed that all ions has the same temperature). The steady states of ITER-FEAT reactor have been studied numerically. Several wall and plates materials and Argon as seeded impurities has been considered. The numerical results show that the effect of seeded impurity radiation is strongly mitigated by decreasing of sputtered impurity density and its radiation due to lower energy flowing to the SOL.

On the basis of the non-equilibrium statistical theory, the transport equations of various impurity ions, deuterium ions and electrons, namely the special multi-component plasma, were derived from Fokker-Planck kinetic equation. The transport dynamics of impurity ions with Zth-level charges forming in the various ionization levels and the contribution of explicit collisions between different particles were systematically analyzed. In addition, the obtained transport equations of various impurity ions are more compact and elegant.

Full-torus impurity transport simulation for optimizing plasma discharge operation using a multi-species impurity powder dropper in the large helical device

The transport of impurities supplied by a multi-species impurity powder dropper (IPD) in the large helical device (LHD) is investigated using a three-dimensional peripheral plasma fluid code (EMC3-EIRENE) coupled with a dust transport simulation code (DUSTT). The trajectories of impurity powder particles (Boron, Carbon, Iron, and Tungsten) dropped from the IPD and the impurity transport in the peripheral plasma are studied in a full-torus geometry. The simulation reveals an appropriate size of the impurity powder particles and an optimum operational range of the dust drop rates for investigating the impurity transport without inducing radiation collapse. The simulation also predicts a favourable plasma discharge condition for wall conditioning (boronization) using the IPD in order to deposit boron to high plasma flux and neutral particle density areas in the divertor region in the inboard side of the torus.     

Observation of anomalous momentum transport in tokamak plasmas with no momentum input

Anomalous momentum transport has been observed in Alcator C-Mod tokamak plasmas through analysis of the time evolution of core impurity toroidal rotation velocity profiles. Following the L-mode to EDA (enhanced D(alpha)) H-mode transition, the ensuing cocurrent toroidal rotation velocity, which is generated in the absence of any external momentum source, is observed to propagate in from the edge plasma to the core. The steady state toroidal rotation velocity profiles are relatively flat and the momentum transport can be simulated with a simple diffusion model. Velocity profiles during edge localized mode free (ELM-free) H-modes are centrally peaked, which suggests the addition of inward momentum convection. In all operating regimes the observed momentum diffusivities are much larger than the neoclassical values.     

Spin-flip induction of Fano resonance upon electron tunneling through atomic-scale spin structures

The inclusion of inelastic spin-dependent electron scatterings by the potential profiles of a single magnetic impurity and a spin dimer is shown to induce resonance features due to the Fano effect in the transport characteristics of such atomic-scale spin structures. The spin-flip processes leading to a configuration interaction of the system’s states play a fundamental role for the realization of Fano resonance and antiresonance. It has been established that applying an external magnetic field and a gate electric field allows the conductive properties of spin structures to be changed radically through the Fano resonance mechanism.
