摘要: Lithium wall conditioning has been found to enhance plasma performance for graphite walled fusion devices such as TFTR, CDX-U, T-11M, TJ-II and NSTX. Among observed enhancements is a reduction in edge density reduced deuterium recycling. The mechanism by which lithiated retains largely unknown. Under controlled laboratory conditions, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) used observe the chemical changes that occur on ATJ after lithium deposition. state of change upon irradiation indicating formation Li-O-D, manifest at 532.9 ± 0.6 eV. Lithium-deuterium interactions are also C 1s energy range show Li-C-D 291.2 ± 0.6 Post-mortem NSTX tiles have exposed air extraction cleaned examined, revealing archaeology formed during operations. XPS spectra strong correlation (± 0.3 eV) Li-O-D Li-O pea...
