Radio-chemical Analysis of Nuclear Graphite.

Chemical sputtering studies of lithiated ATJ graphite

Lithium evaporation treatments in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) have shown dramatic improvements in plasma performance increasing the viability of lithium as a Plasma Facing Component (PFC) material. In order to understand the complex system of lithiated ATJ graphite, chemical sputtering measurements of plain and lithiated ATJ graphite are conducted in our upgraded IIAX (Ion Su...

Chemical response of lithiated graphite with deuterium irradiation

Physical and chemical erosion studies of lithiated ATJ graphite

Lithium evaporation treatments for ATJ graphite tiles in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) have shown dramatic improvements in plasma performance increasing the viability of lithium as Plasma Facing Component (PFC) material. In order to understand the complex system of lithiated ATJ graphite, studies of physical and chemical erosion of plain and lithiated ATJ graphite are conducted...

Damage tolerance of nuclear graphite at elevated temperatures

Nuclear-grade graphite is a critically important high-temperature structural material for current and potentially next generation of fission reactors worldwide. It is imperative to understand its damage-tolerant behaviour and to discern the mechanisms of damage evolution under in-service conditions. Here we perform in situ mechanical testing with synchrotron X-ray computed micro-tomography at t...

woman-defined identity: analysis of selected poems of adrienne rich

the current thesis is composed in five chapters in the following fashion: chapter two encompasses the applied framework of the project in details; the methodology of carl gustav jung to explain the process of individuation, the major archetypes and their attributes and his techniques to assess the mind’s strata are all explained. moreover, the austrian psychoanalysts, heinz kohut’s models of a...
