The application of lithium to plasma facing components (PFCs) has been widely used to
improve plasma performance in magnetic confinement devices. The ability of lithium to …

A comparison of three sets of Lithium Tokamak Experiment-β (LTX-β) discharges is
presented, each with progressively more lithium evaporatively deposited on the stainless …

Lithium wall conditioning has improved the performance of many magnetic fusion devices. Li
conditioning in the RFX-mod device was performed by:(1) a single Li pellet injector and (2) a …

We have used a combination of pico-to-nano temporal/spatial scale computational physics
and chemistry modeling of plasma–material interfaces in the tokamak fusion plasma edges …

Lithium coatings in the Lithium Tokamak eXperiment (LTX) led to flat temperature profiles.
The flat temperature profiles were observed along with a hot, low density edge, implying a …

The thermal stability of thin Li films (≤ 7 nm) on a polycrystalline W substrate is reported in
the temperature range of 300–1800 K to advance understanding of Li plasma-facing …

For improved understanding of the behavior of Li plasma facing components (PFCs) in the
presence of oxygen impurities, we report on the thermal stability of ultrathin (up to 1.0 nm) …

This work presents a computational study of the retention, reflection, and sputtering
processes at amorphous and crystalline lithium surfaces by the impact of low energy (5-100 …

Thin layers containing lithium oxide (Li 2 O), lithium sulfide (Li 2 S), or lithium selenide (Li 2
Se) are relevant for many electrochemical processes in lithium-based batteries. As a step …

Detailed experimental and computational information on the response of lithium surfaces to
irradiation by slow hydrogenic particles (ions, atoms, molecules) is sparse and mainly …
