A New Approach Toward Extreme Thermal Stability of Femtosecond Laser Induced Modifications in Glasses

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 19, Issue 3, February 5, 2025.
Femtosecond laser irradiation inside Al2O3‐SiO2 and ZrO2‐Al2O3‐SiO2 glasses can induce polarization‐controlled birefringent nanostructures, along with local precipitation of refractory nanocrystals like tetragonal ZrO2 or mullite. These structures yield a persisting positive index contrast with extraordinary thermal stability (>1600 °C), opening a ...

Ion‐Mediated Tearing and Kink Instabilities in the Earth's Magnetosphere: Hybrid‐Vlasov Simulations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract We explore the three‐dimensional structure of ion‐kinetic instabilities in a thin current layer using a hybrid‐Vlasov simulation of the Earth's magnetosphere. The simulation shows the simultaneous growth of tearing and kinking instabilities, which develop in the Sun‐Earth and dawn‐dusk directions, respectively, within the magnetotail current ...

Optimizing Radiation Shielding for Fusion Maintenance Facilities: Insights From a Comprehensive Analysis of ITER Hot Cell

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
One of the primary goals of the ITER project is to demonstrate the safety characteristics of a fusion device, particularly in terms of radiation management. Radiation protection during maintenance periods is of special concern, as personnel performing maintenance‐like activities will be exposed to delayed gamma fields from numerous and complex ...

Localised Microwave Bursts During ELMs on MAST

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Bursts of microwave emission are observed during ELM events on the Mega Ampère Spherical Tokamak. In agreement with observations on other machines, these bursts are up to 3 orders of magnitude more intense than the thermal background, but are electron ...

Spectroscopic Measurement of Hydrogen Atom Density in a Plasma Produced with 28 GHz ECH in QUEST

open access: yesAtoms, 2020
The spatial distribution of the hydrogen atom density was evaluated in a spherical tokamak (ST) plasma sustained only with 28 GHz electron cyclotron heating (ECH). The radially resolved Hδ emissivity was measured using multiple viewing chord spectroscopy

Regularity for Micropolar Fluid Equations Subjected to Hall Current

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In this paper, we consider the density‐dependent incompressible Hall‐magnetomicropolar fluid equations and establish a regularity condition involving the Lt1Lx∞ norm of the velocity gradient and the microrotational velocity gradient and the Lt2r/r−3Lxr norm of the magnetic field gradient for r > 3.

Fully non-inductive plasma start-up with lower-hybrid waves using the outboard-launch and top-launch antennas on the TST-2 spherical tokamak

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Removal of the central solenoid is essential to realize an economical spherical tokamak fusion reactor, but non-inductive plasma start-up is a challenge. On the TST-2 spherical tokamak, non-inductive plasma start-up using lower-hybrid (LH) waves has been
