Answer added in Plasma Diagnostics19 In optical emission spectroscopy, sometimes the peak value of emission intensity is used and sometimes FWHM. Which value is much better to use?By M. Abrar · University of PeshawarMarco Wisse · Universität BaselI'd like to mention two more things to note about the width: 1) Although several broadening mechanisms play a role for 'cold' particles, for hot parti... [more]I'd like to mention two more things to note about the width: 1) Although several broadening mechanisms play a role for 'cold' particles, for hot particles the dominant broadening mechanism is Doppler broadening, in which case the width of a spectral line is proportional to the square root of the temperature and 2) unless you have a very hot plasma or a high resolution spectrometer (i.e. a narrow instrument function, so a high dispersion combined with a narrow slit ), the width of the spectral line as you measure it could be dominated by the instrument function, not the emitter properties so you may have to correct for that.Following

Answer added in Plasma Physics6 What are the diagnostics that can be used to measure plasma intrinsic rotation?By Santanu Banerjee · Institute for Plasma ResearchMarco Wisse · Universität BaselAnother impurity that may be used to obtain core rotation profiles of the ions is Ar, which emits x-rays that may be analyzed with a (curved) crystal ... [more]Another impurity that may be used to obtain core rotation profiles of the ions is Ar, which emits x-rays that may be analyzed with a (curved) crystal spectrometer, for example. Somewhat more exotic and inaccurate would be to use the in-outboard (i.e. low-high B side) asymmetry of the electron density, measured with Thomson Scattering e.g., combined with a flux-surface reconstruction to obtain a rotation profile. However, you then also need a spatially resolved Zeff profile (Bremsstrahlung?) in the mix if I'm not mistaken...Following

Answer added in Thin Films and Nanotechnology10 How can we clean platinum or gold coated silicon wafers for thin film deposition?By Yellareswara Rao K · Indian Institute of ScienceMarco Wisse · Universität BaselDear Dr Rao, are you talking about loosely bound contaminants such as adsorbed carbon, nitrogen and oxygen from the ambient atmosphere? If cleaning in... [more]Dear Dr Rao, are you talking about loosely bound contaminants such as adsorbed carbon, nitrogen and oxygen from the ambient atmosphere? If cleaning in an ultrasonic bath using ethanol/acetone doesn't do the job, you might consider argon ion sputtering in a vacuum chamber prior to transferring your sample into the deposition chamber. This will erode the top layer, so it may or may not be possible depending on the thickness and quality of your gold/platinum coating, but it might be worth considering.

Article: Laser damage thresholds of ITER mirror materials and first results on in situ laser cleaning of stainless steel mirrors
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A laser ablation system has been constructed and used to determine the damage threshold of stainless steel, rhodium and single-, poly-and nanocrystalline molybdenum in vacuum, at a number of wavelengths between 220 and 1064 nm using 5 ns pulses. All materials show an increase of the damage threshold with decreasing wavelength below 400 nm. Tests in a nitrogen atmosphere showed a decrease of the damage threshold by a factor of two to three. Cleaning tests have been performed in vacuum on stainless steel samples after applying mixed Al/W/C/D coatings using magnetron sputtering. In situ XPS analysis during the cleaning process as well ex situ reflectivity measurements demonstrate near complete removal of the coating and a substantial recovery of the reflectivity. The first results also show that the reflectivity obtained through cleaning at 532 nm may be further increased by additional exposure to UV light, in this case 230 nm, an effect which is attributed to the removal of tungsten dust from the surface.Fusion Engineering and Design 10/2012; · 1.49 Impact Factor -

Article: Spectroscopic reflectometry of mirror surfaces during plasma exposure.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An in situ spectroscopic reflectometry system has been built to investigate the evolution of the specular reflectivity spectrum of ITER first mirror samples during plasma exposure. Results are presented for three different types of molybdenum mirror samples that were exposed to deuterium plasma, including single crystalline, nanocrystalline, and polycrystalline molybdenum. The results show good agreement with ex situ measurements of the reflectivity spectrum before and after exposure and extend the results obtained in previous experiments.The Review of scientific instruments 01/2012; 83(1):013509. · 1.52 Impact Factor -
