Theory of Fast Electron Transport for Fast Ignition

, 2013
Fast Ignition Inertial Confinement Fusion is a variant of inertial fusion in which DT fuel is first compressed to high density and then ignited by a relativistic electron beam generated by a fast (< 20 ps) ultra-intense laser pulse, which is usually ...

INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION REACTOR SYSTEMS [PDF]

, 1981
A variety of reactor cavity concepts, drivers, and energy conversion mechanisms are being considered to realize commercial applications of ICF. Presented in this paper are: (1) a review of reactor concepts with estimates of practically achievable pulse repetition rates; (2) a survey of drivers with estimates of the requirements on reactor conditions ...

Deciphering Small Molecule Diffusion Parameters Across Light Responsive Polymersome Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐responsive polymersomes bearing donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) enable programmable control over small‐molecule transport across synthetic membranes. By systematically varying DASA density, an optimal functionalization regime is identified that maximizes light‐gated permeability.

MAGTWIST: A Magnetically‐Driven Rotary Actuator Using a Traveling‐Wave With Integrated Stiffness Tunability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

2D Magnetic and Topological Quantum Materials and Devices for Ultralow Power Spintronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D magnets and topological quantum materials enable ultralow‐power spintronics by combining robust magnetic order with symmetry‐protected, Berry‐curvature‐driven transport. Fundamentals of 2D anisotropy and spin‐orbit‐coupling induced band inversion are linked to scalable growth and vdW stacking.

Absolute measurement of the DT primary neutron yield on the National Ignition Facility

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The measurement of the absolute neutron yield produced in inertial confinement fusion target experiments conducted on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is essential in benchmarking progress towards the goal of achieving ignition on this facility. This

First-principles estimation of plasma jet properties from x-ray Thomson scattering spectrum in the double-cone ignition scheme

Nuclear Fusion
In the double-cone ignition (DCI) scheme, the unique configuration of the gold cones facilitates plasma compression. However, the gold impurity in the plasma jet have a potential impact on the energy conversion efficiency and final fusion yield.

Modeling hydrodynamic instabilities of double ablation fronts in inertial confinement fusion

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
A linear Rayleigh-Taylor instability theory of double ablation (DA) fronts is developed for direct-drive inertial confinement fusion. Two approaches are discussed: an analytical discontinuity model for the radiation dominated regime of very steep DA ...
