Parametric study of the TF coil design for the European DEMO

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Rainer Wesche, Roberto Guarino

In addition to a reduced number of feeders, which would simplify their integration in the cryostat of the tokamak, the present study considers the possibility to reduce the voltage during safety discharge of the toroidal field (TF) coils. A lowered dischar ...

T-cs degradation of ITER TF samples due to fast current discharges

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov

Direct current tests performed in the past on the conductor samples of the toroidal field (TF) ITER coils revealed degradation of current sharing temperature, T-cs. The degradation progresses with repetitive electromagnetic loading, and also with thermal c ...

Elucidating the role of the InGaN UL in the efficiency of InGaN based light-emitting diodes

Camille Haller

Blue III-nitride light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used nowadays in solid-state lighting, as white light can be produced by combining yellow phosphors and blue LEDs. This technology has the advantage to have a higher luminous efficiency than incandes ...

Sputtering-induced reemergence of the topological surface state in Bi2Se3

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff, Thorsten Schmitt, Vladimir N. Strocov

We study the fate of the surface states of Bi2Se3 under disorder with strength larger than the bulk gap, caused by neon sputtering and nonmagnetic adsorbates. We find that neon sputtering introduces strong but dilute defects, which can be modeled by a unit ...

Evolution of the hydromorphodynamics of mountain river confluences for varying discharge ratios and junction angles

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña, António Heleno Cardoso

Mountain river confluences are characterized by narrow and steep tributaries that supply abundant sediment load to a main channel that, in turn, provides the dominant flow discharge. In addition, bed sediments consist of poorly sorted mixtures that promote ...
