Imploding$Z$-Pinch Plasmas Formed From a Carbon Fiber

Abstract: Z-pinch experiments, which are formed from a 15-µm diameter carbon fiber in a vacuum, were conducted using a simple capacitor bank. After the breakdown, a low-density coronal plasma was formed while the fiber diameter remained almost unchanged. This low-density corona (ion density of about 10 16 cm −3 ) was carrying almost all the current of the order of 10 kA. When the current had built up, i.e., after about 150 ns, the implosion of the corona onto the central fiber occurred. The implosion velocity approached… Show more

“…To start with the initial small diameter was also the idea of gas embedded and fibre Z-pinches [56][57][58]. However, since the compressional ratio cannot be considered as fully independent of the initial radius and the early development of instabilities, this idea proved to be wrong [7,[59][60][61][62][63][64].…”
