ITER will use beryllium as a plasma-facing material in the main chamber, covering a total
surface area of about 620 m 2. Given the importance of beryllium erosion and co-deposition …

This review summarizes the more-than-25-years of development of the so-called thermionic
vacuum arc (TVA). TVA is an anodic arc discharge in vapors of the material to be deposited; …

Magnesium and magnesium thin alloy films were deposited using a thermionic vacuum arc
(TVA), which has multiple applications in the field of metallic electrodes for diodes and …

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 …

Three batches of pure beryllium (Be), pure tungsten (W) and mixed Be: W (50: 50) coatings
were deposited by using the thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) technique. Different superficial …

Deuterium retention and release behavior were investigated in this study, for beryllium,
tungsten and mixed beryllium/tungsten thin layers which are of concern for next-generation …

In this work, thermal-desorption spectrometry is used to study Be–W and Al–W intermetallic
compounds formed on the surface of tungsten during the deposition of Be and Al atoms …

Three batches of pure beryllium (Be), pure tungsten (W) and mixed Be: W (50: 50) coatings
were deposited by using the thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) technique. Different superficial …

Acting on plasma by Neutral Beams and/or by Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating injects
energy and torque. The effect is increase in the energy content but also rotation of the …
