General information

Course name Lecture: High heat load components in nuclear fusion devices
Semester SS 2025
Current number of participants 0
Home institute Lehrstuhl für Experimentelle Plasmaphysik
Courses type Lecture in category Teaching
Participants The course is suitable for both physics and materials science students. Specific knowledge will be explicitly developed during the lecture and is not required as a prerequisite.
Pre-requisites The first part of the course module, "Fundamentals of Plasma-Material Interaction", is helpful but not strictly necessary for following this lecture. In principle both parts of the module "Plasma-Material Interaction" can be taken in arbitrary sequence. The final examination requires knowledge of both parts, however.
Learning organisation Lectures will take place on a weekly basis. Lecture slides (with some copyright-protected material replaced by placeholders with explanatory text) are provided via DigiCampus.
Performance record Oral examination at the end of the semester. Appointments on request.
Veranstaltung findet in Präsenz statt / hat Präsenz-Bestandteile Yes
Hauptunterrichtssprache englisch
Miscellanea !!! Important note: Due to lack of participants, the lecture is cancelled until further notice. If you are interested in taking the lecture, please contact Dr. Armin Manhard at armin.manhard@ipp.mpg.de or via DigiCampus. Otherwise, the module will be offered again in the winter semester, commencing with Fundamentals of Plasma-Wall Interaction.

Comment/Description

This is the second part of the course module on Plasma-Wall Interaction. The lecture will first expand on analyis methods for plasma-facing materials, with a particular focus on samples and components that were installed inside fusion experiments as well as high heat flux testing. Based on the knowledge of the various stress factors for such components, possible materials choices are discussed, and advanced materials concepts that specifically address some of the numerous challenges in designing a plasma-facing component for a nuclear fusion reactor are presented. Finally, also structural and peripheral materials and components of a fusion reactor are briefly explored.
