“…The intermixing at the Si/Fe and Fe/Be interfaces has to be considered by the analysis of sets of samples (before and after deposition, treatments, various processing, respectively). While the deposition of the Be films is subject to special regulations, the Be/W bilayers have been obtained in a special installation, using the thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) method, which is an original technology placed between electron beam evaporation and electrical vacuum arc discharge [4,5]. An electron beam can evaporate the material of interest, placed at the anode, as neutral particles which can be directly deposited on the substrate, placed at the cathode, for enough low electron energies and beam intensities.…”

“…For preparation of granular nanostructured GMR films, an original technology, which is placed between electron beam evaporation and electrical vacuum arc discharge, known as thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) technology was used [5][6][7][8]. The method uses an electron beam emitted by an externally heated cathode (a tungsten grounded filament) accelerated by a high anodic voltage.…”

Giant magnetoresistive (GMR) coatings on silicon, glass and Kapton were prepared by simultaneous thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) discharges in high vacuum conditions. The magnetic metal or alloy (Fe, Co, Ni, Permalloy) together with the noble non magnetic metal were deposited on substrates having different positions relative to the discharges. Local magnetic interactions and Fe-phase composition were obtained by Mössbauer spectroscopy whereas the magnetoresistance effects were measured by a dc method using a four-point configuration with perpendicular to plane magnetic fields up to 0.8 T. The surface morphology of the coatings was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in contact mode.PACS : 52.77.-J

“…Various 500-2500-nm thick coatings of pure beryllium or different mixtures of beryllium and tungsten were produced for the experiments by the thermoionic vacuum arc (TVA) method [3]. The ratio of beryllium and tungsten (in at.%) in the mixed layers varied from 75:25 to 95:5.…”

Development of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for analyzing deposited layers in ITER

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) experiments on different ITER-relevant berylliumtungsten mixtures were performed to develop LIBS towards tokamak applications. Some of the samples were doped or implanted with deuterium to simulate fuel retention. The results indicate that beryllium and tungsten have a number of distinguishable spectral lines for diagnostics purposes, but detection of deuterium is challenged by its low concentration and low fluences used. By studying the depth profiles of the coatings, the removal rates of the layers were observed to depend on the thickness, composition, and deuterium content of the coating. Quantitative studies of the compositions were made by CF-LIBS, and the results agreed well with those given by ion-beam methods.
