Promising computer simulations for stellarator plasmas The turbulence code GENE (Gyrokinetic Electromagnetic Numerical Experiment), has proven to be very useful for the theoretical description of turbulence in the plasma of tokamak-type fusion devices. Extended for the more complex geometry of stellarator-type devices, computer simulations with GENE now indicate a new method to reduce plasma turbulence in stellarator plasmas. This could significantly increase the efficiency of a future fusion power plant. more Promising computer simulations for stellarator plasmas 9/18/2020 10:42:00 AMScience Daily |
Self-induced ultrafast demagnetization limits the amount of light diffracted from magnetic samples at soft x-ray energies Free electron X-ray lasers deliver intense ultrashort pulses of x-rays, which can be used to image nanometer-scale objects in a single shot. When the x-ray wavelength is tuned to an electronic resonance, magnetization patterns can be made visible. When using increasingly intense pulses, however, the magnetization image fades away. The mechanism responsible for this loss in resonant magnetic scattering intensity has now been clarified. more Self-induced ultrafast demagnetization limits the amoun ... 9/18/2020 10:42:00 AMScience Daily |
