The structure of lithium deposited specimens at the T-10 tokamak vessel after examination of lithium capillary porous system were analysed. Scanning electron microscopy have been used to analyse the deposits. Composites of lithium carbonate LixCOy have been found by analysis. Plasma irradiation of these lithium specimens have been carried out in the PLM plasma device with plasma parameters similar to the tokamak divertor plasma. Stationary plasma load up to 1 MW/m2 during 200 minutes in the PLM provided the change of surface morphology revealed by post-mortem analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
