Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:48.31(Chemistry, Physical)In the fabrication process of semiconductor, Si wafer surface is etched by strong-alkaline aqua solutions such as 48 % NaOH and KOH. If the etchant is contaminated by Ni and Cu, smalls pits which appeared on Si surface in the process of surface polishing caused poor production yield of the Si wafers. Available commodity adsorbent resins shrink in the high concentration of alkaline aqua solutions and bias flow occurred in the case of their column packing. Hence, novel fibrous adsorbent was synthesized by radiation-induce graft polymerization on nonwoven materials composed of pure polyethylene fibers. The obtained fibrous adsorbent module (TM: Metolate) had practical cost and performance that flow rate is ten times and effective capacity is some tens times higher than commercialized adsorbent resins and fibers.

Degradation modeling of InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction (3J) solar cells due to proton irradiation is performed with the use of a one-dimensional optical device simulator; PC1D, and the degradation level in each sub-cell is evaluated. By fitting external quantum efficiencies of the 3J solar cells degraded by proton irradiation, the short-circuit currents () and open-circuit voltages () are simulated. The validity of this model is confirmed by comparing the results of both and to the experimental data. The carrier removal rate of base layer () and the damage coefficient of minority carrier diffusion length () in each sub-cell are also estimated. In addition, NIEL (Non-Ionizing Energy Loss) analysis for both radiation degradation parameters and is discussed.

Degradation modeling of InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple junction (3J) solar cells with the use of a one dimensional optical device simulator, PC1D, is performed for cell lifetime prediction. By fitting the quantum efficiencies of 3J solar cells degraded by 30 keV, 150 keV, 3 MeV, or 10 MeV proton irradiation, the short circuit currents (Isc) and open circuit voltages (Voc) are simulated. The damage coefficient of minority carrier diffusion length () and carrier removal rate () of base carrier concentration of each sub cell are also estimated. The values of Isc and Voc obtained using the calculations show good agreement with experimental values. These results confirm that the degradation modeling method is effective for lifetime prediction of 3J solar cells.

InGaP and Si solar cells are irradiated with 10 MeV protons at fluences up to cm at room temperature (RT) and low temperature (LT). Results show that the remaining factor Voc irradiated at LT is higher than that at RT, and vice versa for Isc. The temperature coefficient of Voc after irradiation is greater than that before irradiation, although the coefficients of Isc are the same before and after irradiation. This degradation of the output performance of these solar cells can be interpreted in terms of a decrease in minority-carrier diffusion length.

In this study, we reconsider electron irradiation methods for the evaluation of radiation response of space solar cells. We show irradiation test methods performed at JAEA, such as a sequential method, in which the electrical performance of solar cells is measured outside of an irradiation facility after irradiation, and a simultaneous method, in which the electrical performance of solar cells can be measured in-situ. The results obtained from the sequential method are compared to these obtained from the simultaneous method. The reasonable distance between samples and the accelerator window to take reliable data on the basis of the energy decay of electrons by atmosphere is also discussed.

The performance recovery of III-V solar cells irradiated with protons by current injection was investigated. InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction (3J) solar cells were irradiated with 50keV protons at 110 or 10MeV protons at 110ions/cm at room temperature. Then, the recoveries of the electric (current-voltage: -) characteristics of these samples were investigated by forward current (minority carrier) injection. As a result, the open circuit voltage () of these 3J solar cells was recovered although no significant change in their short circuit current () was observed due to current injection. In addition, the samples irradiated with 50keV protons were recovered compared to the ones irradiated with 10MeV protons.

InGaP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction (3J) and Si single junction solar cells designed for space application were irradiated with 1.0 MeV- and 0.8 MeV-electrons at 110510/cm in the atmosphere. The distance between the irradiation window and samples was changed from 20 to 50 cm. The accelerated electron energy changed from 1.0 to 0.93 MeV at the surface of samples with 20 cm below the irradiation window. This energy change caused by the energy attenuation of the Ti irradiation window and atmosphere. The electrical properties of solar cells were measured and compared before irradiation to after irradiation. No significant difference in the degradation of 3J solar cells due to electron irradiation was observed in energies range between 0.93 and 0.71 MeV. For Si solar cells, the value of degradation is the same in energies range between 0.93 and 0.87 MeV, however, the decrease in degradation was observed below 0.73 MeV.

Toroidal field coils (TFC) of the JT-60SC consist of 18 D-shape coils. The maximum magnetic field is 7.4 T at an operational current of 19.4 kA. An advanced NbAl superconductor was developed for the TFC conductor material in JAERI. The NbAl has lower strain sensitivity on superconducting performances, and allows us to fabricate the TFC by react-and-wind (R&W) method that makes that the coil fabrication with high reliability becomes easier and the fabrication cost becomes lower. To demonstrate the coil fabrication by R&W method, a two-turn D-shape coil was developed. The D-shape coil was tested at 4.3-4.4K and 7-12T. Measured critical current (Ic) was 30 kA at 7.3 T and 4.4 K. Using the measured conductor and strand Ic values, the strain of the conductor was estimated to be -0.6%. The Ic-B-T characteristic expected by an empirical equation substituting this strain shows that the required temperature margin for TFC is satisfied. Thus, the R&W method was demonstrated to be the applicable fabrication method of the TFC.

Recently, the detailed radial profile measurements of plasma parameters have been improved, so that the internal structure of plasmas has been explored. The understanding of plasma confinement has been enhanced by density and temperature fluctuation measurements using a mm-wave reflectometer and electron cyclotron emission measurements respectively. In addition, the real-time control experiments of electron density, neutron yield, radiated power and electron temperature gradient have been carried out successfully by corresponding diagnostic devices. These measurements and the real time control contribute to improving plasma performance. Diagnostic devices for next generation fusion devices such as a CO2 laser interferometer/polarimeter and a CO2 laser collective Thomson scattering system have been developed.

In addition to achievement of the equivalent break-even condition (QDTeq up to 1.25) and a high fusion triple product = 1.5E21 m-3skeV, JT-60U has demonstrated the integrated performance of high confinement, high beta-N, full non-inductive current drive with a large fraction of bootstrap current in the reversed magnetic shear and in the high-beta-p ELMy H mode plasmas characterized by both internal and edge transport barriers. The key factors in optimizing these plasmas are profile and shape controls. As represented by discovery of various Internal Transport Barriers, JT-60/JT-60U has been emphasizing freedom and restriction of profiles in various confinement modes. JT-60U has demonstrated applicability of these high confinement modes to ITER and also clarified remaining issues.
