The European ITER First Wall panel design relies on a HIP based manufacturing sequence. However, failures of the bond to the beryllium tile might occur during the fabrication and under high heat flux qualification. A dedicated project has been stablished between UKAEA/CCFE and F4E aiming to identify suitable repair techniques. One of the most prom…

The unoccupied density of states is simulated for two different experimentally determined C 60 crystal structures. Several theoretical crystal structures are constructed to allow the effects of bond length and relative molecular orientation to be studied. It is found that both have an effect on the unoccupied states, and that the larger effect is c…

An analytic interatomic bond-order potential BOP is derived that depends explicitly on the group number of the sp -valent element. This is achieved by generalizing the previously published BOP for group-IV elements by extrapolating from half-full occupancy using a simple envelope function for the upper bound of the bond order. This interatomic pote…

The structure of amorphous In x Se y alloys has been studied by a first principles tight-binding molecular dynamics technique. The three-dimensional amorphous structures with different densities at different compositions were prepared by quick quenching from the liquid phase. The characteristics of short-range order, namely radial distribution func…

The design of a power plant based on the spherical tokamak (ST) is being developed in order to explore its potential advantages. The plasma is operated in a double null configuration, forming both an upper and lower divertor. In order to accommodate the high erosion rates and heat fluxes developed in the divertors, a system based on a cascading flo…
