Magnum-PSI is an advanced linear plasma device uniquely capable of producing plasma conditions similar to those expected in the divertor of ITER both steady-state and transients. The machine is designed both for fundamental studies of plasma-surface interactions under high heat and particle fluxes, and as a high-heat flux facility for the tests of plasma-facing components under realistic plasma conditions. To study the effects of transient heat loads on a plasma-facing surface, a novel pulsed plasma source system as well as a high power laser are available. In this article, we will describe the capabilities of Magnum-PSI for high-heat flux tests of plasma-facing materials.

“…Facilities dedicated to the examination of phenomena arising when materials are exposed to extreme plasma environments are in ongoing use for research vital to magnetic confinement fusion [1][2][3][4] and hypersonic vehicles 5, 6 among other fields. The Pi facility is unique in its dedicated design to provide long-term exposure of materials to plasma conditions relevant to EP and pulsed power applications.…”

A new device has been constructed for the investigation of interactions between engineered materials and a plasma in the regime relevant to electric propulsion. The facility is comprised of a cylindrical vacuum chamber with a flange-mounted, hollow cathode plasma source running perpendicular to the chamber axis. The plasma source delivers unmagnetized ions and thermal, magnetized electrons to a cooled target mounted on the opposing flange. The ion energy impacting the surface is controlled by the sample bias relative to the plasma potential, which is maintained near the chamber potential. This paper discusses the major aspects of the plasma source design and presents preliminary measurements of the plasma parameters achieved to date.

“…We therefore need some test facilities to investigate the material properties of a tungsten wall from various points of view under reactor‐relevant conditions. Several linear plasma simulators [12–16] have been working for the above purposes, including NAGDIS‐I and II. A compact plasma device for such plasma–wall interaction (PWI) studies is very helpful to investigate, for example, how to avoid the helium damage of tungsten surface, what the surface characteristics for nanostructured tungsten surface are, and a possible utilization of such nanostructured tungsten with the suppression of induced arcing.…”

A unique plasma-generation device called the "Aichi Institute of Technology-Plasma Irradiation Device" has been developed for plasma-wall interaction (PWI) studies toward realization of a fusion reactor. It has power-saving characteristics as well as compactness due to the employment of a multicusp magnetic field configuration instead of a strong axial magnetic field. Helium as well as argon plasmas are generated, showing an outstanding property of production of the hot-electron component which can be controlled by changing the working gas pressure. Utilizing such outstanding properties, some typical studies on PWI are introduced. An azimuthally asymmetric confinement depending on the direction of magnetic field lines, particularly for energetic electrons, has been found. Some discussions on the physical mechanisms are given.
