About this book

Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion deals with the specific contact between the fourth state of matter, i.e. plasma, and the first state of matter, i.e. a solid wall, in controlled fusion experiments. A comprehensive analysis of the main processes of plasma-surface interaction is given together with an assessment of the most critical questions within the context of general criteria and operation limits. It is shown that the choice of plasma-facing materials can be reduced to a very limited list of possible candidates. Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion emphasizes that a reliable solution of the material problem can only be found by adjusting the materials to suitable plasma scenarios and vice versa.

About the author

Dirk Naujoks, born 1965, has studied at the Moscow Institute of Energy (1983-1989) and acquired his PhD from Lomonosov Moscow State University (1991). From 1991 he has worked at the Max-Planck-Institute of Plasmaphysics (IPP) at its different sites Garching and Berlin and takes now part in the Stellarator project W7-X of the IPP in Greifswald, Germany. In 1999 he stayed a half year at the Argonne National Laboratory as a guest scientist. From 2001 to 2005 he gave lectures at the Humboldt University of Berlin on Computer Simulation in Plasma Physics.
