    Notes: The Z-pinch-driven hohlraum (ZPDH) [J. H. Hammer et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 2129 (1999)] is a promising approach to high yield inertial confinement fusion currently being characterized in experiments on the Sandia Z accelerator [M. E. Cuneo et al., Phys. Plasmas 8, 2257 (2001)]. Simulations show that capsule radiation symmetry, a critical issue in ZPDH design, is governed primarily by hohlraum geometry, dual-pinch power balance, and pinch timing. In initial symmetry studies on Z without the benefit of a laser backlighter, highly-asymmetric pole-hot and equator-hot single Z-pinch hohlraum geometries were diagnosed using solid low density foam burnthrough spheres. These experiments demonstrated effective geometric control and prediction of polar flux symmetry at the level where details of the Z-pinch implosion and other higher order effects are not critical. Radiation flux symmetry achieved in Z double-pinch hohlraum configurations exceeds the measurement sensitivity of this self-backlit foam ball symmetry diagnostic. To diagnose radiation symmetry at the 2%–5% level attainable with present ZPDH designs, high-energy x rays produced by the recently-completed Z-Beamlet laser backlighter are being used for point-projection imaging of thin-wall implosion and symmetry capsules. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    E×B circulation at the tokamak divertor X point : The 42nd annual meeting of the division of plasma physics of the American Physical Society and the 10th international congress on plasma physics (2001)

    Notes: Detailed measurements in two dimensions by probes and Thomson scattering reveal unexpected local electric potential and electron pressure (pe) maxima near the divertor X point in L-mode plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak [J. L. Luxon and L. G. Davis, Fusion Technol. 8, 441 (1985)]. The potential drives E×B circulation about the X point, thereby exchanging plasma between closed and open magnetic surfaces at rates that can be comparable to the total cross-separatrix transport. The potential is consistent with the classical parallel Ohm's law. A simple model is proposed to explain the pressure and potential hills in low power, nearly detached plasmas. Recent two-dimensional edge transport modeling with plasma drifts also shows X-point pressure and potential hills but by a different mechanism. These experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that low power tokamak plasmas can be far from poloidal uniformity in a boundary layer just inside the separatrix. Additional data, although preliminary and incomplete, suggest that E×B circulation across the separatrix might be a common feature of low confinement behavior. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Transport by intermittent convection in the boundary of the DIII-D tokamak (2001)

    Notes: Intermittent plasma objects (IPOs) featuring higher pressure than the surrounding plasma, and responsible for ∼50% of the E×BT radial transport, are observed in the scrape off layer (SOL) and edge of the DIII-D tokamak [J. Watkins et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 63, 4728 (1992)]. Conditional averaging reveals that the IPOs, produced at a rate of ∼3×103 s−1, are positively charged and also polarized, featuring poloidal electric fields of up to 4000 V/m. The IPOs move poloidally at speeds of up to 5000 m/s and radially with E×BT/B2 velocities of ∼2600 m/s near the last closed flux surface (LCFS), and ∼330 m/s near the wall. The IPOs slow down as they shrink in radial size from 4 cm at the LCFS to 0.5 cm near the wall. The IPOs appear in the SOL of both L and H mode discharges and are responsible for nearly 50% of the SOL radial E×B transport at all radii; however, they are highly reduced in absolute amplitude in H-mode conditions. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Development and characterization of a Z-pinch-driven hohlraum high-yield inertial confinement fusion target concept : The 42nd annual meeting of the division of plasma physics of the American Physical Society and the 10th international congress on plasma physics (2001)

    Notes: Initial experiments to study the Z-pinch-driven hohlraum high-yield inertial confinement fusion (ICF) concept of Hammer, Tabak, and Porter [Hammer et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 2129 (1999)] are described. The relationship between measured pinch power, hohlraum temperature, and secondary hohlraum coupling ("hohlraum energetics") is well understood from zero-dimensional semianalytic, and two-dimensional view factor and radiation magnetohydrodynamics models. These experiments have shown the highest x-ray powers coupled to any Z-pinch-driven secondary hohlraum (26±5 TW), indicating the concept could scale to fusion yields of 〉200 MJ. A novel, single-sided power feed, double-pinch driven secondary that meets the pinch simultaneity requirements for polar radiation symmetry has also been developed. This source will permit investigation of the pinch power balance and hohlraum geometry requirements for ICF relevant secondary radiation symmetry, leading to a capsule implosion capability on the Z accelerator [Spielman et al., Phys. Plasmas 5, 2105 (1998)]. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Edge localized mode particle losses from the DIII-D tokamak (2001)

    Notes: Particle losses associated with edge localized mode (ELM) activity on the DIII-D tokamak [J. Luxon et al., Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1986, Vol. I, p. 159] are evaluated quantitatively using density profile data obtained from a Thomson scattering system. It is shown that up to 10% of the total core particle content is lost with each ELM. The particle loss varies inversely with ELM frequency. The temporally averaged ELM particle loss is shown to be about 25% of the total particle loss from the confined region under a wide variety of plasma conditions. Although this ELM loss is a small fraction of the total ion flux, it is large compared to the particle input from neutral beam heating. Hence ELM particle losses are sufficient to control the density rise associated with H-mode plasma operation with neutral beam heating. In addition to controlling the average density by enhancing the total ion flow, albeit only by 25%, it is posited that the ELMs play a role in determining the density profile in the H-mode pedestal region. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Thermal stability and contact degradation mechanisms of TaC ohmic contacts with W/WC overlayers to n-type 6H SiC (2001)

    Notes: Ohmic contacts comprised of the layer sequence of W/WC/TaC/SiC showed excellent thermal stability after testing at 600 °C for 1000 h. No degradation of the specific contact resistance nor a reaction of the film with the SiC substrate was observed. From Auger electron spectroscopy depth profiles, it was found that W and WC reacted to form W2C on TaC after annealing. After annealing for several hundred hours at 1000 °C, the specific contact resistance of the W/WC/TaC/SiC contacts displayed noticeable degradation. According to secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis, after annealing at 1000 °C for 600 h, small but measurable changes in the electrical characteristics were associated with O incorporation at the interface between TaC and SiC. Investigation of the W/WC/TaC/SiC interface by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that a reaction between the W and WC had occurred, but there was no observed reaction with the SiC substrate. After annealing for 1000 h, substantial changes in the chemistry, the microstructure, the specific contact resistance, and the spreading resistance of the contacts were observed. To understand the mechanisms associated with the degradation of the electrical properties, SIMS and TEM analyses were performed on samples annealed for 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1000 h at 1000 °C. These findings indicated that both oxidation and metallurgical reactions played important roles in the degradation of the electrical properties. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Generalization of a two-dimensional micromagnetic model to nonuniform thickness (2001)

    Notes: A two-dimensional micromagnetic model is extended to support simulation of films with nonuniform thickness. Zeeman and crystalline anisotropy energies of each cell scale with the cell thickness, while the exchange energy of a pair of neighbor cells scales by a weight dependent on the thicknesses of both cells. The self-magnetostatic energy is computed by scaling the moment of each cell by its thickness, and adding a local correction to the out-of-plane field. The calculation of the magnetostatic field for a 10×10×1 oblate spheroid is shown to be more accurate by the nonuniform thickness model than by a uniform thickness model. With the extended model a 530×130×10 nm film in the shape of a truncated pyramid with tapering over the 15 nm nearest the edges is shown to have smaller switching field and different reversal mechanism compared with uniform thickness films of similar size and shape. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Switching dynamics and critical behavior of standard problem No. 4 (2001)

    Notes: We report results for μMAG standard problem No. 4, a 500 nm×125 nm×3 nm rectangle of material with properties to mimic Permalloy. Switching dynamics are calculated for fields applied instantaneously to an initial s state: Field 1 at 170° and Field 2 at 190° (−170°) from the positive long axis. Reversal in Field 1 proceeds by propagation of end domains toward the sample center. Reversal in Field 2 involves rotation of the end domains in one direction while the center of the particle rotates in the opposite direction, resulting in collapsing 360° walls with complex dynamics on fine length scales. Approaching the static coercivity, Hc, in small field steps, we find that the ring down frequency, f, and susceptibility, χ, are in approximate agreement with a single spin model that predicts f∝(Hc−H)1/4 and χ∝(Hc−H)−1/2. We show a correlation between the modes of oscillation that become unstable at the critical field and the switching behavior. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The 100 ns, 20 MA pinch-driver Z is surrounded by an extensive set of diagnostics. There are nine radial lines of sight set at 12° above horizontal and each of these may be equipped with up to five diagnostic ports. Instruments routinely fielded viewing the pinch from the side with these ports include x-ray diode arrays, photoconducting detector arrays, bolometers, transmission grating spectrometers, time-resolved x-ray pinhole cameras, x-ray crystal spectrometers, calorimeters, silicon photodiodes, and neutron detectors. A diagnostic package fielded on axis for viewing internal pinch radiation consists of nine lines of sight. This package accommodates virtually the same diagnostics as the radial ports. Other diagnostics not fielded on the axial or radial ports include current B-dot monitors, filtered x-ray scintillators coupled by fiber optics to streak cameras, streaked visible spectroscopy, velocity interferometric system for any reflector, bremsstrahlung cameras, and active shock breakout measurement of hohlraum temperature. The data acquisition system is capable of recording up to 500 channels and the data from each shot is available on the Internet. A major new diagnostic presently under construction is the BEAMLET backlighter. We will briefly describe each of these diagnostics and present some of the highest-quality data from them. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Three x-ray spectrometers, each with a transmission grating dispersion element, are routinely used at the Z soft x-ray facility to measure the spectrum and temporal history of the absolute soft x-ray power emitted from z-pinch and hohlraum radiation sources. Our goal is to make these measurements within an accuracy of ±10%. We periodically characterize the efficiency of the gratings used in the spectrometers by using an electron-impact soft x-ray source, a monochromator, grazing-incidence mirrors, thin filters, and an x-ray charge-coupled device (CCD) detector. We measure the transmission efficiency of the gratings at many photon energies for several grating orders. For each grating, we calculate efficiency as a function of photon energy using published optical constants of gold and multiple-slit Fraunhofer diffraction theory and fit the calculation to the measurements using the physical parameters of the grating as variables. This article describes the measurement apparatus and calibration techniques, discusses the grating efficiency calculation and fitting procedure, and presents recent results.
