    Notes: Characteristics of helicon plasmas are examined as a candidate for accelerator ion sources. Helicon plasmas have much higher density with very high power efficiency in a relatively lower magnetic field than electron cyclotron resonance plasmas do. High electron density and high electron temperature are beneficial to extract high ion current density. Low magnetic field favors for low-emittance accelerators. Taking advantage of placing antenna outside of the plasma chamber, source contamination can be kept low enough to maintain a stable operation for longer periods. Based on these characteristics, new designs of high current ion sources using helicon waves are proposed for accelerator applications for the first time. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Electron density and temperature in the CDX-U low aspect ratio tokamak are too low to allow observation of fast magnetohydrodynamic activity using soft x-ray continuum emission. However, spectroscopic measurements show that extreme ultraviolet (XUV) line emission of intrinsic impurities is bright enough to observe such activity. In addition, a fast monitoring system for local temperature changes in the plasma core is required for planned auxiliary heating experiments. We present a spectrally resolved tomographic system for fast imaging of O VI 2s–np, 2p–nd (n≥3), C V 1s2–1s2p and C VI 1s–2p XUV transitions. Using this emission, we can study both core and edge MHD activity, while the C VI to C V intensity ratio can indicate local changes in electron temperature. To achieve maximal throughput together with the needed spectral resolution, we use arrays of surface barrier diodes filtered with bandpass elemental filters. Using M edge filters (Zr, Pd, and Ag), we achieve both good discrimination between the above charge states and large transmission at the wavelengths of interest. Preliminary results obtained from CDX-U are presented. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A multipass/multipulse Thomson scattering system has been implemented on CDX-U in collaboration with the Ioffe Institute, St. Petersburg. The system consists of a low energy (1.5– 2.5 J), passively Q-switched ruby laser, and a multipass optical cavity enclosing the plasma. Multiple reflections of the beam within the cavity increase by about an order of magnitude the number of scattered photons, allowing temperature density to be measured with good accuracy even at very low plasma density. By feeding the returned beam back into the laser, the system can deliver several pulses over a 1 ms period. However, the experiments on CDX-U show that a mechanical shock wave reaching the multipass system affects the feedback and laser output per pulse drops significantly. Therefore we operate the system by fine tuning the laser cavity, so that output is practically independent of feedback from multipass cavity. Also, by optimizing the transmission of the passive Q-switch and the pumping power, we obtain that laser output is concentrated in single large pulse of 2–2.5 J energy. We achieve circulating energy in the plasma in excess of 12 J per pulse, while minimizing at the same time stray light. As shown by results from CDX-U, this enables in some cases better than 10% accuracy, despite relatively low plasma density conditions. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A high-current, proton linear accelerator, named as Korean multipurposed accelerator (KOMAC), is being proposed mainly for accelerator-driven transmutation technology (ADTT) by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). High-current, low emittance continuous power (cw) linear accelerators favor electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) microwave ion sources as an injector (Ref. 〈citeref RID="R1" STYLE="ONLINE"〉1). Recently, these microwave sources are developed and constructed by several institutes especially for high-current cw linear accelerators. A high-density microwave ion source has been designed and constructed as a prototype ion source for the proposed KOMAC linear accelerator. The design of microwave power injection system is similar to that of the 75 keV proton injector at Los Alamos National Laboratory (Ref. 〈citeref RID="R2" STYLE="ONLINE"〉2). A 2.45 GHz, 1.5 kW magnetron source is introduced into the stainless steel plasma chamber with 10 cm diam and 20 cm length through a tapered, double-ridged waveguide and a quartz window. The microwave power supply is separated from the plasma chamber by a high-voltage waveguide break. Axial magnetic fields up to 1 kG can be provided by two sets of water-cooled solenoid coils. A single-hole extraction system is designed for extraction current up to 50 mA at 50 kV extraction voltage. The design and initial operations of the ion source in ECR regimes will be presented. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A material for thermally stable self-aligned silicide technologies has been developed using sequentially deposited Ti/Ta on polycrystalline silicon. At lower annealing temperatures below 1000 °C two separate phases were found by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy to exist in the form of bilayer TiSi2/TaSi2. The formation of a ternary phase (TiTa)Si2 has been observed at a higher temperature of 1000 °C. Consequently, the ternary (TiTa)Si2 layer could be kept extremely flat, with a sheet resistance of 5 Ω/(D'Alembertian), even after 1000 °C, 30 min annealing. Cross-sectional transmission electron micrographs of the structure clearly reveal that no agglomeration occurs during the heat treatment.

    Notes: The formation of titanium silicides on Si implanted with different BF2+ dosages has been studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy measurements. The thickness of the silicide layer formed in the temperature ranging from 600 to 800 °C has been investigated as a function of the implanted BF2+ dosage up to 1×1016 cm−2. Annealing at 700 °C results in conversion of the titanium film into predominantly C49 TiSi2, and most of it is transformed into the C54 phase at 800 °C or higher, resulting in a lower sheet resistance (16 μΩ cm). The titanium silicide thickness formed after the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment depends on the implanted BF2+ dosage, caused by the native oxide enhanced by increased damage. Boron is redistributed into the silicide layer up to the solid solubility limit during annealing, leading to an accumulation at the silicide/silicon interface. The lowest contact resistance (with a size of 0.7 μm×0.7 μm) of 35 Ω is obtained at the annealing temperature of 700 °C.

    Notes: Magnetic diagnostics are used to reconstruct current density profiles in noninductively driven plasmas in the CDX-U tokamak. The boundary magnetic fields are measured by 32 pickup coils and three flux loops attached at different poloidal positions inside the CDX-U vessel; in addition, internal magnetic probes are also used. Significant eddy currents are measured on the thick aluminum vessel and accounted for in the analysis. Two-dimensional current density distributions and magnetic flux contours are reconstructed from these measurements using a least-square-error technique. A finite element description of plasma currents is useful for general magnetic geometries which evolve from open field lines to closed flux surfaces. By increasing the number of elements, a converged current density distribution is obtained.

    Notes: Due to their highly shaped plasma and possible poloidal asymmetry in impurity concentration, spherical Tokamaks will require tomographic reconstruction of local emissivities to assess impurity content and transport. To collect in an effective manner the data required for such reconstruction, we develop arrays of high throughput "mini-monochromators" using extreme ultraviolet multilayer mirrors as dispersive elements and filtered surface barrier diodes as detectors. We discuss monochromator optimization and show that by working at near normal incidence throughput and spectral resolution are simultaneously maximized. A system proposed for tomographic reconstruction of C V and C VI resonance emission at 33.7 and 40.5 Å respectively, achieves 0.9 Å spectral resolution, 2 cm spatial resolution, and 0.2 ms temporal resolution, together with good sensitivity and background rejection. Preliminary results obtained from CDX-U low aspect ratio tokamak are also presented. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Using a rotatable three-electrode Mach probe at the outer edge region of the plasma, preliminary observations indicate the existence of a toroidal rotation in the ion flow direction (of the toroidal current) with no comparable poloidal rotation. This rotation cannot be in the direction of the magnetic field, because of the large pitch of the local magnetic field. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
