Ion-beam inertial fusion: the requirements posed by target and deposition physics

Description: The demonstration of ICF scientific feasibility requires success in target design, driver development and target fabrication. Since these are interrelated, we present here some results of ion beam target studies and relate them to parameters of interest to ion accelerators. Ion deposition physics have long been a well known subject apart from high beam currents. Recent NRL experiments at up to 250 kA/cm/sup 2/ ions confirm the classical deposition physics now at current densities which are comp… more

Continued investigations into techniques producing selective chemical reactions on surfaces and target spheres and related studies. Final report

Description: This report describes efforts leading to the development and characterization of a compact ion source and optical transfer system producing relatively high current density ion beams. The ion source and beam transfer system represent a major advance in the state of the art in that high current densities at low kinetic energies have been achieved for high molecular weight polyatomic ions. Indeed, the ion beams produced display ion abundance patterns typical of simple low energy electron impact io… more

RF magnetron sputtering of thick film amorphous beryllium

Description: Thick film coatings of beryllium, needed for the low-Z ablator layer in proposed laser fusion targets, have been prepared using high rate magnetron rf sputtering. The requirements for these Be coatings include thicknesses from 5 to 50 ..mu..m, complete freedom from surface defects, and an average surface roughness of 100 nm or less. We have sputtered very smooth, dense, thick Be films with surface roughness less than 100 nm. X-ray diffraction analysis of impurity doped films indicates an amorph… more
