Simulation of Helical Flux Compression Generator

Abstract

Electronic Structure of Superconducting Ta 4Pd3Te16. -The electronic structure of Ta 4Pd3Te16 is analyzed by tight-binding band calculations based on the extended Hueckel method. The compound electronically shows a quasi 1D behavior even though it possesses a layered structure. A strong orbital interaction is found only along the crystallographic b-direction. Fermi surface nesting disappears in Ta 4Pd3Te16 due to the weak interaction between Ta-Te and Pd-Te polyhedra. The compound is discussed to be a potential superconductor through suppression of the charge-density wave state via the disappearance of Fermi surface nesting.

Half-and-half HFCG with double-end initiation

“…Using the simulation approach described in [7], we will demonstrate that HFCG with double-end initiation makes it possible to generate pulses with faster rise time and higher power delivered to the inductive load than HFCG with single-end initiation, when designed in the same dimensions. In conclusion, it will be shown that HFCG with half-and-half stator and double-end initiation makes it possible to increase significantly the amplitude of the current switched by an electro-explosive opening switch (EEOS).…”
