The study of Z-pinches with engineered defects

3D-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of electrothermal instability growth by studying Z-pinches with engineered defects
3D-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of electrothermal instability growth by studying Z-pinches with engineered defects

Electrothermal instability (ETI) is driven by Joule heating and arises from the dependence of resistivity on temperature. When a metal is Joule-heated through the boiling point, ETI drives azimuthally correlated surface density variations or “strata,” which provide the dominant seed for the subsequent growth of the Magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability. MRT erodes implosion symmetry in magnetically driven liners, reducing their ability to compress and inertially confine fusion plasmas. Data and simulations suggest that reducing the growth of ETI meaningfully reduces MRT. Data on ETI can be difficult to interpret due to the complexity of inhomogeneities present in the metal (inclusions, surface defects, grain boundaries, etc.). To reduce such complexities, experiments have examined ETI growth from 99.999% pure aluminum, 800-micron-diameter Z-pinch rods driven to 800 kA in 100 ns. Rod surfaces are diamond turned to extreme smoothness, and then further machined to include carefully characterized “engineered” defects—designed lattices of micron-scale pits. Such defects are assured to be the largest current density perturbation in the system, enabling a clear comparison with simulation. Visible-light emissions from the rod surface were captured with high-resolution gated imaging.

Experiments confirmed two theory/simulation predictions. First, this shows that even for 100-nm-scale surface roughness, the surface will heat more rapidly than the larger defect if the curvature of the roughness (amplitude/wavelength) is sufficiently large. Second, when emissions from the defect do dominate, perhaps counterintuitively, the first plasma emissions are observed from above and below the defect.

About the Z Machine

Sandia’s Z machine is the world’s most powerful and efficient laboratory radiation source. It uses high magnetic fields associated with high electrical currents to produce high temperatures, high pressures, and powerful X-rays for research in high energy density science. The Z machine creates conditions found nowhere else on Earth. Z is part of Sandia’s Pulsed Power program, which began in the 1960s.
