A plasma-material interaction design basis for NSTX-U flash lithium evaporators
A. Maan, R. Majeski, C. López Pérez +3
Plasma-material interaction (PMI) at lithium conditioned plasma facing components (PFCs) depends not only on lithium inventory, but also on coating freshness, chemical state, and s…

Photodiode based multi-modal diagnostic for low-energy neutral beam injection in the LTX- spherical tokamak
A. Maan, Tosh Le, D. P. Boyle +8
We present a compact photodiode-based diagnostic array developed to study low-energy neutral beam injection in the LTX- spherical tokamak. The in-vacuum diagnostic combines filt…

Effects of size of an oxide layer on the surface properties of lithium irradiated by deuterium plasma
P. S. Krstic, A. Maan. R. Majeski, B. E. Koel
We investigate how growth of an oxide film will influence the deuterium recycling properties of Li on plasma facing surfaces. Lithium films on the walls or plasma-facing material s…
