Suppression of electron temperature gradient turbulence via negative magnetic shear in NSTX

Negative magnetic shear is found to suppress electron turbulence and improve electron thermal transport for plasmas in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). Sufficiently negative magnetic shear results in a transition out of a stiff profile regime. Density fluctuation measurements from high-k microwave scattering are verified to be the electron temperature gradient (ETG) mode by matching measured rest frequency and linear growth rate to gyrokinetic calculations. Fluctuation suppression under negligible E×B shear conditions confirm that negative magnetic shear alone is sufficient for ETG suppression. Measured electron temperature gradients can significantly exceed ETG critical gradients with ETG mode activity reduced to intermittent bursts, while electron thermal diffusivity improves to below 0.1?electron gyro-Bohms.     

Demonstration of ignition radiation temperatures in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion hohlraums

We demonstrate the hohlraum radiation temperature and symmetry required for ignition-scale inertial confinement fusion capsule implosions. Cryogenic gas-filled hohlraums with 2.2 mm-diameter capsules are heated with unprecedented laser energies of 1.2 MJ delivered by 192 ultraviolet laser beams on the National Ignition Facility. Laser backscatter measurements show that these hohlraums absorb 87% to 91% of the incident laser power resulting in peak radiation temperatures of T(RAD)=300 eV and a symmetric implosion to a 100 μm diameter hot core.     

Electromagnetic transport from microtearing mode turbulence

This Letter presents nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of microtearing mode turbulence. The simulations include collisional and electromagnetic effects and use experimental parameters from a high-β discharge in the National Spherical Torus Experiment. The predicted electron thermal transport is comparable to that given by experimental analysis, and it is dominated by the electromagnetic contribution of electrons free-streaming along the resulting stochastic magnetic field line trajectories. Experimental values of flow shear can significantly reduce the predicted transport.

Unusually long, multicenter, cation(δ+)···anion(δ-) bonding observed for several polymorphs of [TTF][TCNE

The α, β, and δ polymorphs of [TTF][TCNE] (TTF=tetrathiafulvalene; TCNE=tetracyanoethylene) exhibit a new type of long, multicenter bonding between the [TTF]^δ+ and [TCNE]^δ? moieties, demonstrating the existence of long, hetero‐multicenter bonding with a cationic^δ+???anionic^δ? zwitterionic‐like structure. These diamagnetic π‐[TTF]^δ+[TCNE]^δ? heterodimers exhibit a transfer of about 0.5 e^? from the TTF to the TCNE fragments, as observed from experimental studies, in accord with theoretical predictions, that is, [TTF^δ+???TCNE^δ?] (δ?0.5). They have several interfragment distances <3.4 Å, and a computed interaction energy of ?21.2 kcal mol^?1, which is typical of long, multicenter bonds. The lower stability of [TTF]^δ+[TCNE]^δ? with respect to typical ionic bonds is due, in part, to the partial electron transfer that reduces the electrostatic bonding component. This reduced electrostatic interaction, and the large interfragment dispersion stabilize the long, heterocationic/anionic multicenter interaction, which in [TTF^δ+???TCNE^δ?] always involves two electrons, but have ten, eight, and eight bond critical points (bcps) involving C? C, N? S, and sometimes C? S and C? N components for the α, β, and δ polymorphs, respectively. In contrast, γ‐[TTF][TCNE] possesses [TTF]₂²⁺ and [TCNE]₂^2? dimers, each with long, homo‐multicenter 2e^?/12c (c=center, 2 C+4 S) [TTF]₂²⁺ cationic⁺???cationic⁺ bonds, as well as long, homo‐multicenter 2e^?/4c [TCNE]₂^2? anionic^????anionic^? bonding. The MO diagrams for the α, β, and δ polymorphs have all of the features found for conventional covalent C? C bonds, and for all of the previously studied multicenter long bonds, for example, π‐[TTF]₂²⁺ and π‐[TCNE]₂^2?. The HOMOs for α‐, β‐, and δ‐[TTF][TCNE] have 2c C? S and 3c C? C? C orbital‐overlap contributions between the [TTF]^δ+? and [TCNE]^δ? moieties; these are the shortest intra [TTF???TCNE] separations. Thus, from an orbital‐overlap perspective, the bonding has 2c and 3c components residing over one S and four C atoms.

Groups and facilitators within problem structuring processes

In problem structuring methods, facilitators often ask of themselves questions such as: what makes a ‘good’ problem structuring group (PSG) and indeed what does ‘good’ mean? How can group dynamics be improved and does it matter in terms of the quality of the problem structuring that that group engages in? On the surface these questions seem to be straightforward. Indeed, those who have helped facilitate many participatory workshops will think they intuitively know the answers to these questions; they can, from their professional practice, ‘feel’ which PSGs are doing well and producing novel insights and those which are functioning less well and perhaps generating something that is less imaginative and more routine as a consequence. The intuitive, practice-learned insight will depend upon a rich array of visual signals that become more obvious with experience. This paper asks whether there is value in being much more open and analytical about these questions and answers. If so, then how can we make the unwritten processes and outcomes of PSGs written? Indeed, open to whom? Finally, how much of any insights learned by facilitators should be shared with those engaged in workshops?
