Measurement of impurity lines with two- crystal x-ray spectrometers on EAST

To simultaneously measure the He-like and H-like argon spectra, a two-crystal assembly has been deployed to replace the previous single crystal on the tangential x-ray crystal spectrometer. By selecting appropriate crystals with similar Bragg angles, plasma temperature in the range of 0.5 keV≦ T_e≦ 10 keV and rotation can be diagnosed based on the He-like and H-like argon spectra. However, due to the added complexity in the two-crystal assembly in which the spectra might be diffracted by two crystals, some additional impurity lines were identified. For example, tungsten (W) lines in different ionization states were diffracted by the He-like and H-like crystal. Additional molybdenum (Mo) lines in the wavelength range of He-like and H-like argon spectra lines were also summarized. The existence of these additional lines caused the fitted temperature to be different from the true values. This paper presents the identified lines through a comparison with available database, which should be included in the fitting procedure.     

低温固相反应法制备铈酸镧粉体及其烧结性能研究

以六水合硝酸镧和六水合硝酸铈为原料,一水合柠檬酸为络合剂,通过低温固相反应法制备铈酸镧前驱体,经不同温度煅烧制备铈酸镧粉体。利用红外光谱和综合热分析研究前驱体的结构和热分解过程,并通过X射线衍射分析、扫描电子显微镜观察、透射电子显微镜分析和体积密度测试等手段对不同煅烧温度合成的粉体物相、形貌及烧结性能进行表征。结果表明:当煅烧温度达到600 ℃时,前驱体开始生成铈酸镧晶体,且随着煅烧温度的提高,晶体发育不断完善,晶粒逐渐长大。经800 ℃煅烧可获得单相的铈酸镧粉体,再经1600 ℃烧结,试样的相对密度达到95.5%。
