EXPLORATORY RESEARCH PROJECT

 

PN-II  4/2011 project number PN-II-IDPCE- 2011-3-0522

 

Project Director: Dr. Cristian P. LUNGU

Abstract:

The project is aimed to study the behavior of the 0.5 - 10 µm thickness W, C, Be layers in interaction with  single or multiple terawatt laser beam pulses, as well as under the interaction with the laser beam breakdown plasma produced in gaseous environment, including deuterium.Terawatt laser system (Tewalas), a modern facility of the NILPRP is a high power, 20-30 x 10 – 15 s pulse duration, 400-450 mJ pulse energy, 10 Hz repetition rate. The 1014 W/cm2 density power laser beam will be focalized on the W, C, Be coatings at few micrometers above the coatings in air/deuterium atmosphere. The laser pulses will be programmed to have durations of nano or picoseconds, at hundred of Hz or kHz in order to obtain duration and power densities compared to the fusion plasma instabilities.

We expect that the time-resolved visible spectroscopy of plasmas produced by laser breakdown of air using femtosecond laser pulses (50-450 mJ, 20-30 fs) will reveal features not observed with longer (nanosecond) laser pulses. Will be studied the effects of the laser produced plasmas with pure C, W, Be films and their combinations. For the coatings characterizations before and after exposures will be used modern techniques as: Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS), Nuclear reaction analysis (NRA), etc.

The general objectives of the project are obtaining the scientific experimental and fundamental results related i) to applications of the C, W and Be materials as first wall materials of the tokamak type fusion reactors, ii) to the plasma plume dynamic generated in C, W and Be materials, iii) to the laser- samples interaction and the desorption plume dynamic, the velocity distributions of different ablated products.

Working plan

S1. C, W and Be coatings interaction with the pulsed laser beam in vacuum. Coatings characterization before and after laser beam interaction experiment.

S2. C, W and Be coatings interaction with the breakdown plasma produced by Tewalas facility in air atmosphere. Coatings characterization before and after laser beam interaction experiment.

S 3. C, W and Be coatings interaction with the breakdown plasma produced by Tewalas facility in deuterium atmosphere. Coatings characterization before and after the experiment.

S4 Composite coatings containing binary and ternary components interaction with the breakdown plasma produced by Tewalas facility in air and deuterium atmosphere. Coatings characterization before and after laser interaction experiment.
