Effects of some parameters on the divertor plasma sheath characteristics and fuel retention in castellated tungsten tile gaps

Castellation of plasma facing components is foreseen as the best solution for ensuring the lifetime of future fusion devices. However, the gaps between the resulting surface elements can increase fuel retention and complicate fuel removal issues. To know how the fuel is retained inside the gaps, the plasma sheath around the gaps needs to be understood first. In this work, a kinetic model is used to study plasma characteristics around the divertor gaps with the focus on the H＋ penetration depth inside the poloidal gaps, and a rate-theory model is coupled to simulate the hydrogen retention inside the tungsten gaps. By varying the magnetic field strength and plasma temperature, we find that the H＋ cyclotron radius has a significant effect on the penetration depth. Besides, the increase of magnetic field inclination angle can also increase the penetration depth. It is found in this work that parameters as well as the penetration depth strongly affect fuel retention in tungsten gaps.     

Transverse Zeeman background correction method for air mercury measurement

By utilizing a natural mercury lamp, the transverse Zeeman background correction method, which is used for trace mercury measurement in air, is studied. In this paper, a natural mercury lamp is used as a light source, and is placed in a 1.78-T magnetic field. The lamp emits two linearly polarized light beams σ± and π of 253.65-nm resonance line, which are used as bias light and absorbing light, respectively. A polarization modulation system is used to allow σ± and π light beams to pass through alternately with a certain frequency. A multipath optical cell with 12-m optical path is used to increase optical distance. Based on the system described above, the influence caused by UV absorbing gases, such as NO2, SO2, acetone, benzene, and O3, is analyzed. The results show that it may reduce the detection limit when the concentrations of these gases exceed 83.4 ppm, 20.3 ppm, 142.3 ppm, 0.85 ppm, and 0.55 ppm, respectively. The detection limit of the system is calculated and can achieve up to 1.44 ng/m3 in 10 minutes. Measurements on mercury sample gas and air are carded out, and the measured data are compared with the data of RA-915 mercury analyzer （Russia）. The result shows that the correlation coefficient reaches up to 0.967. The experimental results indicate that the transverse Zeeman background correction method can be used to quantify trace mercury in air with high-precision.

实验利用金刚石压腔装置研究了常温和0.1～1 400 MPa范围内黄铜矿A₁振动模式的原位拉曼光谱特征。结果显示在实验条件范围内,该拉曼振动峰的强度和形态保持稳定,表明晶格内Cu-S和Fe-S间的相互作用没有发生质变。实验发现黄铜矿该拉曼振动的波数随着压力升高连续向高频方向移动,两者的线性关系为：ν₂₉₀＝0.031 2p+290.60(0.1≤p<58.8 MPa)和ν₂₉₀＝0.005 72p+292.10(58.8≤p<1 400 MPa)dν/dp。常温下58.8 MPa是黄铜矿该拉曼波数随压力变化率的一个突变点,低于和高于该压力时分别为31.2和5.72 cm-1·GPa-1,显著的差异表明黄铜矿的结构可能发生了某种改变。     

Molecular biology of histidine decarboxylase and prostaglandin receptors

Histamine and prostaglandins (PGs) play a variety of physiological roles as autacoids, which function in the vicinity of their sources and maintain local homeostasis in the body. They stimulate target cells by acting on their specific receptors, which are coupled to trimeric G proteins. For the precise understanding of the physiological roles of histamine and PGs, it is necessary to clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in their synthesis as well as their receptor-mediated responses. We cloned the cDNAs for mouse L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC) and 6 mouse prostanoid receptors (4 PGE(2) receptors, PGF receptor, and PGI receptor). We then characterized the expression patterns and functions of these genes. Furthermore, we established gene-targeted mouse strains for HDC and PG receptors to explore the novel pathophysiological roles of histamine and PGs. We have here summarized our research, which should contribute to progress in the molecular biology of HDC and PG receptors.

Nanocluster n-CdO thin film by sol-gel for solar cell applications

The nanocluster-CdO film was successfully synthesized by sol-gel method using cadmium acetate and 2-metoxyethanol as starting materials and monoethanolamine as a stabilizer. The structural properties of the CdO film were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM results indicate that the CdO film is consisted of nanoclusters with grain size of 75-85 nm. The optical band gap E_g of nanocluster-CdO film was found to be 2.27 eV. The heterostructure, formed from two semiconductor layers having different optical band gaps, p-Si/n-CdO is prepared as a solar cell device. The electrical properties of the device were characterized by current-voltage and capacitance-conductance-voltage methods. The photovoltaic properties of p-Si/n-CdO device have been investigated. The p-Si/n-CdO heterojunction solar cell shows the best values of V_oc = 0.41 and J_sc = 2.19 mA/cm² under AM1.5 illumination. It is evaluated that this work is useful as a basis for the search of nanomaterial CdO and more competitive p-Si/n-CdO based solar cells, despite the fact that V_oc and J_sc are lower than those reported in the literature.

Molecular dynamics of polycrystalline cellobiose studied by solid-state NMR

Molecular motions of polycrystalline cellobiose have been investigated by measuring proton spin–lattice relaxation times, T₁ and T_1ρ, and the second moment, M₂, in both protonated and D₂O exchanged forms over the temperature range 120–380 K. T₁ relaxation is dominated by the motions of hydroxyl groups between 150 and 380 K, characterised by an activation energy of about 8.74 kJ/mol, whereas T_1ρ relaxation is driven by the motions of the same groups between 120 and 300 K. T_1ρ results suggest that hydroxyl groups have a distribution of dynamics. Motion of methylene groups was detected in the second-moment experiments at about 350 K, characterised by activation energy of about 40 kJ/mol. Consideration of the calculated and observed rigid-lattice second moments suggests that the reported X-ray data are incorrect for the inter-proton distance on C6′. ¹³C CPMAS spectra of both protonated and deuterated cellobiose have also been measured. Spectra of the deuterated material showed the existence of a second crystalline form in addition to the normal form.

The Kirkwood correlation factor of dense methanol as a function of temperature and pressure under isochoric conditions and its statistical mechanical treatment

Experimental data of dielectric susceptibilities of methanol available in the literature over a wide range of temperature and pressure have been used for constructing a state function of the Kirkwood correlation factor g _K of methanol applicable in the homogeneous fluid region between 298 and 580?K and up to 350?MPa. Results of three isochores at 786.32, 820 and 850 kg m^?3 of this state function have been compared with predictions made by a statistical mechanical theory developed in previous work. The theory is based on an association model of alcohols accounting for the correlation of effective dipole moments of chains of all length as well as ringlike cluster formations. Most of the parameters such as association constants and association enthalpies have been obtained from quantum mechanical ab initio calculations of methanol clusters up to six members, reducing the numbers of adjustable parameters to three association constants and an averaged value of the angle between dipoles. The theory which has turned out to provide excellent results for alcohol + hydrocarbon and alcohol +?CCl₄ liquid mixtures at ambient pressure is also able to predict isochoric values of pure methanol up to a pressure of 350?MPa and temperatures of 570?K without adjusting further parameters in satisfying agreement with experimental data.
