Overview of lithium injection and flowing liquid lithium results from the US–China collaboration on EAST
Daniel Andruczyk,R. Maingi,Jin-Yong Hu,Guizhong Zuo,Rabel Rizkallah,Matthew Parsons,Andrew Shone,Daniel O'Dea,Aveek Kapat,Matthew Szott,Steven Stemmley,Zhen Sun,W. Xu,X. C. Meng,Robert Lunsford,Erik P. Gilson,Ahmed Diallo,Kevin Tritz +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-institutional team consisting of national labs and universities has been conducting research to understand and control the plasma-material interface (PMI) to improve long pulse discharge control and performance in the EAST device in Hefei, China.

High Flux Helium Irradiation of Dispersion-Strengthened Tungsten Alloys and Effects of Heavy Metal Impurity Layer Deposition
TL;DR: In this article, the response of dispersion-strengthened tungsten materials to high flux, low energy He irradiation at high temperature is examined, and it is shown that Tungsten alloyed with 1, 5, or 10 wt. % tantalum carbide or titanium carbide exposed to these conditions result in surface pores, coral-like feature growth and sub-surface helium bubbles.

Vertical flow in the Thermoelectric Liquid Metal Plasma Facing Structures (TELS) facility at Illinois
Wenyu Xu,P. Fiflis,Matthew Szott,Kishor Kalathiparambil,Soonwook Jung,Michael Christenson,Ian Haehnlein,Aveek Kapat,Daniel Andruczyk,Davide Curreli,David N. Ruzic +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of the LiMIT structure when inclined to an arbitrary angle with respect to the horizontal is discussed, and the authors show that the thermoelectric force is expected to overcome gravity and drive lithium flow along an arbitrary direction.

Liquid lithium wetting and percolation in a porous tungsten/liquid Li plasma facing component (PFC)
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the concept of a hybrid material system designed to protect the plasma from high-Z material emission while also protecting an underlying high Z wall material from erosion by integrating a low-Z component in the liquid phase.
