Adsorption of hydrogen isotopes in the zeolite NaX: Experiments and simulations
2017
Abstract Among the different methods to separate hydrogen isotopes one is based on the physisorption at low temperature (below 100 K) where quantum effects induce a particular behavior. In the present work, we study the adsorption of single H 2 and D 2 on the zeolite NaX by combining experiments (manometry) from 30 to 150 K and molecular dynamics simulations at 40 and 77 K. Simulations also include the adsorption analysis for T 2 . Adsorption on NaX membranes is simulated and quantum corrections are introduced by using the well-known Feynman–Hibbs approach into the interaction potentials. Experimental adsorption isotherms are reproduced by using the Toth equation and it is shown that the ad…
Spatial Reconstruction Algorithm of DT Layer in Cryogenic Targets Using Optical Techniques
2007
The measurements of the solid DT layer, in terms of thickness and roughness, in the LMJ geometry (i.e. in a hohlraum) are not trivial. The DT layer measurements will be done using a Matsukov-Cassegrain telescope placed 39 cm away from the target. This telescope will be used to acquire shadowgraphy images on equators, and interferometric measurements on pole areas using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Optical coherence tomography allows determining the DT layer thickness on a few points, in the polar regions of the target. By scanning around the poles, several points can be acquired in order to calculate the roughness and the local shape of the DT layer at the pole. Both techniques were …
