The thermionic vacuum discharge method is very effective in that the films obtained using
this technology are characterised by a very high degree of adhesion, density and purity …

First-principles calculations were performed to study the electronic structure, sodium
adsorption behavior and storage performance of γ-graphyne (GY) and beryllium and boron …

Beryllium–tungsten and tungsten layers were deposited by thermionic vacuum arc
technique in gaseous environments, in order to simulate the plasma–wall phenomena …

The formation of beryllium carbide from beryllium and graphite is here investigated. Using
simple models and density functional theory calculations, a mechanism leading to beryllium …

Transport coefficients are calculated combining first-principles calculations with the
Boltzmann transport theory. Electronic states obtained in terms of the k-space eigen …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the thermionic vacuum arc (TVA)
operation parameters (arc current, arc voltage and thermo-emission filament current) on the …

The analysis of the deposition of eroded wall material on the plasma-facing materials in
fusion devices is one of the crucial issues to maintain the plasma performance and to fulfill …

Impurities generated by erosion of different plasma facing components will be transported by
the plasma and re-deposited elsewhere, as in the main wall or in the divertor modules of …

Beryllium carbide is used in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule ablation material due
to its low atomic number, low opacity, and high melting point properties. We used the …

Reduced activation ferritic and martensitic steel like EUROFER (9Cr-1W) are considered as
potential structural materials for the first wall of the future next-generation DEMOnstration …
