Influence of emissivity on behavior of metallic dust particles in plasmas

Abstract: Influence of thermal radiation emissivity on the lifetime of a dust particle in plasmas is investigated for different fusion relevant metals ͑Li, Be, Mo, and W͒. The thermal radiation is one of main cooling mechanisms of the dust in plasmas especially for dust with evaporation temperature higher than 2500 K. In this paper, the temperature-and radius-dependent emissivity of dust particles is calculated using Mie theory and temperature-dependent optical constants for the above metallic materials. The lifetime of… Show more

“…In this processing, " was taken as equal to Q a [28,29], which we based on comparison to a least-squares fit over 0:55-0:9 m. These absolute emissivity levels increase toward unity near 3500 K, which is an expected trend. We also attempted to calculate emissivity based on " 2:31Q a =Q s 0:5 [30,31] because the scattering coefficient was so much larger than the absorption coefficient, however, the fits were even poorer because the assumption of a semi-infinite medium was invalid.…”

“…The dust particle is heated by electron and ion fluxes and their recombination on the surface, as well as by emission processes, and cooled by radiation and evaporation. The equation describing the energy flux on the dust particle surface reads: 28) ( ) is the dust entalphy, other terms in the right hand side of Eq. ( 7) are described below.…”
