Liquid electromigration in gallium-based biphasic thin films

Stéphanie Lacour, Hadrien Olivier Michaud

Liquid metals have recently gained interest as a material of choice for soft and stretchable electronic circuits, thanks to their virtually infinite mechanical failure strain and high electrical conductivity. Gallium-based thin films are obtained by deposi ...

Runaway electron beam control

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Joan Decker, Umar Sheikh, Cristian Galperti, Filippo Bagnato, Gergely Papp

Post-disruption runaway electron (RE) beams in tokamaks with large current can cause deep melting of the vessel and are one of the major concerns for ITER operations. Consequently, a considerable effort is provided by the scientific community in order to t ...
