X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

7.7K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Atomic Spectroscopy: Effects of Temperature

1.2K
Atomization, converting samples into gas-phase atoms and ions, is essential for atomic spectroscopy. The flame temperature required for atomization affects the efficiency of the atomic spectroscopic methods by increasing the atomization efficiency and the relative population of the excited and ground states.
At thermal equilibrium, the relative populations of excited and ground state atoms can be estimated using the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution. For example, an increase in temperature...

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

1.5K
The instrumentation of atomic emission spectrometry (AES) involves various components, including atomization devices that convert samples into gas-phase atoms and ions. There are two main types of atomization devices: continuous and discrete atomizers.  Continuous atomizers, like plasmas and flames, introduce samples in a constant stream, while discrete atomizers inject individual samples using syringes or autosamplers. The most common discrete atomizer is the electrothermal atomizer.

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.0K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Area of Science:

  • Plasma Physics
  • Fusion Energy Research
  • Diagnostic Systems

Background:

  • Understanding plasma thermal structure is crucial for magnetic confinement fusion.
  • Low-aspect-ratio reversed field pinch (RFP) devices present unique challenges for plasma diagnostics.
  • Previous methods lacked the spatial resolution to study detailed thermal structures in RFP plasmas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel two-dimensional (2D) electron temperature (T(e)) diagnostic system.
  • To investigate the thermal structure differences between quasi-single helicity (QSH) and multi-helicity (MH) states in an RFP.
  • To enhance the understanding of plasma behavior in low-aspect-ratio RFP devices.

Main Methods:

  • A two-dimensional (2D) electron temperature (T(e)) diagnostic system was engineered.
  • The system integrates a soft x-ray (SXR) camera with two pinholes and different absorber foils.
  • High-speed imaging on a single micro-channel plate (MCP) enabled 2D T(e) image generation via intensity ratios.

Main Results:

  • The developed diagnostic system successfully captured 2D electron temperature distributions.
  • Distinct T(e) images were obtained for quasi-single helicity (QSH) and multi-helicity (MH) RFP states.
  • The system differentiated thermal structures correlating with concentrated versus broad magnetic fluctuation spectra.

Conclusions:

  • The new 2D T(e) diagnostic system is effective for studying plasma thermal structures in low-aspect-ratio RFPs.
  • The system allows for distinguishing between different magnetic helicity states based on thermal profiles.
  • This advancement provides a valuable tool for future RFP research and magnetic confinement fusion studies.
