Nanotechnologies in modern plasma energetics

Article preview

Fundamental research in the field of plasma energetics provides a new opportunity  to achieve high efficiency of thermionic converters (TIC). The interelectrode gap of such TICs contains the condensate of excited states (CES), consisting of up to 1000 excited Cs atoms in the form of a plasma crystal (Rydberg  matter). In a laboratory TIC with Cs CES the efficiency of ~25 % was registered by emitter’s tem- perature ТЕ ~1600 К and collector’s temperature ТС  ~700 К.  A  unique combination  of low  TE and high efficiency of the system provides a prospect to implement such systems in small nuclear energetics. The results were obtained with SSC RF – Institute for Physics and Power Engineering (Obninsk).

The phenomenon of spontaneous termination of the discharge current and the establishment of fully-managed key elements of the plasma

Article preview

For the first time magnetic and probe technique for diagnostics of anisotropic plasma have been worked out. Contemporary digital measuring methods, plasma plants and new generation devices of plasma energetics as well as special mathematical programs for fundamental investigations of anisotropic plasma were created. The inventions of Saint Petersburg Mining Institute are used for solving of plasma energetic problems.
