Secondary ion mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectrometry depth profiling were used to determine impurity distributions in sputter deposited tungsten films over N-type and P-type 80/20 silicon-germanium elements of thermoelectric devices. These analyses showed that silicon, oxygen, sodium, boron, and phosphorous were present as impurities in the tungsten film. All these impurities except oxygen and sodium came from the substrate. Oxygen was gettered by the tungsten films, while sodium was possibly the result of sample handling. Further, the results from this study indicate that an oxide build-up, primarily at the tungsten/silicon-germanium interface of the N-type materials, is the major contributor to contact resistance in thermoelectric devices.

An overview is presented of the LLNL High-Field Superconducting Magnet Development Program wherein the technology is being developed for producing fields in the range of 15 T and higher for both mirror and tokamak applications. Applications requiring less field will also benefit from this program. In addition, recent results on the thermomechanical performance of cable-in-conduit conductor systems are presented and their importance to high-field coil design discussed.

A significant driver of machine size in previous designs was the amount of nuclear shielding placed between the blanket and the toroidal field (TF) coils to minimize the radiation heating and damage in these critical components. Of course the total amount of shielding is not arbitrary; it certainly must adequately suppress radiation outside the plant. However, if all of this shielding were contained inside the TF coils, several parameters (coil size and weight, maximum field at the windings, stored energy, etc.) would become inordinately large. Reducing the amount of shielding inside the TF coils and allowing the radiation load to climb to less ''conventional'' levels could pay big benefits in reducing the machine size, so long as the damage and heat load remain tolerable. Recent studies indicate that superconducting windings in TF coils can accept much higher heat loads than have been previously considered and simultaneously can be designed with higher than conventional current densities. The purpose of the present exercise is to probe the limits of acceptable radiation levels in relation to winding pack current densities in the TF coils for reactor relevant designs.

Grazing incidence mirrors used to focus synchrotron radiation beams through small distant apertures have severe optical requirements. The surface distortion due to heat loading of the first mirror in a bending magnet beam line is of particular concern when a large fraction of the incident beam is absorbed. In this paper we discuss mirror design considerations involved in minimizing the thermal/mechanical loading on vertically deflecting first surface mirrors required for SPEAR synchrotron radiation beam lines. Topics include selection of mirror material and cooling method, the choice of SiC for the substrate, optimization of the thickness, and the design of the mirror holder and cooling mechanism. Results obtained using two-dimensional, finite-element thermal/mechanical distortion analysis are presented for the case of a 6/sup 0/ grazing incidence SiC mirror absorbing up to 260 W at Beam Line VIII on the SPEAR ring. Test descriptions and results are given for the material used to thermally couple this SiC mirror to a water-cooled block. The interface material is limited to applications for which the equivalent normal heat load is less than 20 W/cm/sup 2/.
