Lithium, a path to make fusion energy affordable
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the technological, physics, and economic basis for a magnetic fusion device utilizing a flowing liquid lithium divertor (molten metal velocity in the range of cm/s) and operating in a low recycling plasma regime.
Wetting of liquid lithium on fusion-relevant materials microtextured by femtosecond laser exposure
Sabrina Hammouti,Brandon Holybee,Michael Christenson,Matthew Szott,Kishor Kalathiparambil,Steven Stemmley,Brian E. Jurczyk,David N. Ruzic +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of femtosecond laser induced nanostructured surfaces on the wetting degree of liquid lithium versus temperature was explored and the effect of both laser induced topography and chemistry were quantified to explain the observed liquid lithium contact angles on each material.
