Observation and Prediction of Runaway Electrons in the COMPASS Tokamak
Papřok, R. ; Krlín, Ladislav ; Stöckel, Jan
In this paper we present new measurements of HXR radiation from the COMPASS tokamak by the use of scintillation detector, 21-pinhole CdTe semiconductor detector. This radiation is caused by the presence of highly energetic runaway electrons and in the case of Neutral Beam Injection by fusion products. We also present direct runaway electrons measurements by Cherenkov detector. We present a theoretical prediction of runaway production based on theoretical formula and experimental data from Thomson scattering and compare it with a simpler experimental method based on peak counting.

First measurements with U-probe on the COMPASS tokamak
Kovařík, Karel ; Ďuran, Ivan ; Stöckel, Jan ; Seidl, Jakub ; Šesták, David ; Brotánková, J. ; Spolaore, M. ; Martines, E. ; Vianello, N.
A complex electrostatic-magnetic probe diagnostics, baptized as ‘U-probe’, has been installed on COMPASS tokamak recently. Probe composes of two identical towers. Each tower houses 3 radially spaced sets of 3D coils, triple probe and rake probe – array of six Langmuir probes. The U-probe measures electric and magnetic properties of the filamentary structures in the edge plasma, particularly the floating potential profile and local magnetic field within the plasma filaments. Contribution presents first tests and results obtained.

Využití SPS technologie pro přípravu high-tech materiálů
Mušálek, Radek
Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) je moderní technologie, která umožňuje slinování práškových materiálů v proměnlivém elektrickém poli (odtud také FAST – Field Assisted Sintering Technique). Rychlost ohřevu v řádu stovek stupňů za minutu, dostatečně vysoké tlaky a vysoká provozní teplota (> 2000 °C) umožňují například slinování materiálů s vysokým bodem tání nebo nanoprášků, aniž by došlo k nežádoucímu nárůstu velikosti zrna ve výsledném materiálu.

Production of nanoparticles utilizing water stabilized plasma
Bertolissi, Gabriele ; Brožek, Vlastimil ; Chráska, Tomáš ; Mušálek, Radek ; Neufuss, Karel ; Mastný, L. ; Sofer, Z.
Water stabilized plasma torch (WSP®) generates plasma jet with max. plasma velocity in the nozzle exit 7000m/s and temperature of 25000-30000 K. Reactants injected into the plasma jet undergo complicated radical reactions. Interaction of plasma with injected reactants depends on energy settings of the WSP plasma torch and lasts from 5 to 10 ms. Droplets of inorganic compound solution are fed to the plasma jet by pressurized spray nozzle device. Compounds of AgI,AlIII,TiIV,PtIV,VV, and CrVI undergo decomposition in the extremely high plasma temperature and the decomposed products are collected in liquid separators. Size of the produced nanoparticles in unsettled fraction is from 10 to 200 nm and depends primarily on concentration of inputting aerosol particles. In the case of 15 seconds reaction time and use of saturated solutions at 20°C, one can obtain colloidal solutions with silver, platinum, alumina, titania, vanadia, and chromia nanoparticles in concentrations of 3 to 180mg

Possible way to prepare nanoparticles from aerosols released at plasma deposition
Brožek, Vlastimil ; Mastný, L. ; Moravec, Pavel ; Ždímal, Vladimír
During plasma deposition of powdered metals or inorganic compounds using WSP® generator, they interact with the plasma having temperature between 25000 and 30000 K. As a result, they melt, evaporate, thermally decompose, get ionized and/or react chemically both with plasma-forming medium and with the surrounding atmosphere or carrier gas. An experimental apparatus was constructed enabling us to capture aerosol particles emitted from the surface of the free flying particles (FFP) heated in a stream of plasma. In this work we studied content, composition and size distribution of nanosized particles of Ag and oxides of Al, Ti, Cr and W, released during plasma deposition process. These particles were analyzed by dynamic light scattering - photon correlation spectroscopy using instrument MALVERN, and with aerosol spectrometers SMPS 3936 and APS 3321.Concentration of aerosols containing nanoparticles of silver or metal oxides with diameters below 100 nm was found to be in the range 85 to

Improving Bond Strenght between Carbon Steel and Plasma Sprayed Ceramics by Phosphating Process
Pokorný, P. ; Brožek, Vlastimil ; Mastný, L.
Phosphating is currently the highest standard of surface treatment before painting in the vehicle industry. Excluded phosphate crystal layer is due to its high porosity absorbing not only paints but also oil and lubricants that can reliably maintain the surface. Improved bond strenght in the case of coatings exposed in the humid atmospheres in comparison with multiple non-coated surface. Focus of this work is an effort to improve the bond strenght between the diferent plasma-sprayed coatings materials and carbon steel using different phosphate coatings. Because most of the eliminated phosphate crystallizes with four crystal waters the samples was covered by zinc-calcium phosphate, which crystallizes with only two waters [scholzite: Zn2Ca(PO4)2 . 2H2O] and coated from bath of „three-cationts“ phosphate due to the large thickness of the coating and compaction [fosfofylit: Zn2Fe(PO4)2 . 4 H2O]. They decided test for measuring the quality of bond strebght between coating and steel
