The SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) Program was a three-year effort between 2018 and 2021 that developed novel Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) superconductor technologies then successfully utilized these to design, build, test first-in-class, high-field (∼20 T), representative-scale (∼3 m) superconducting toroidal field (TF) coil. program executed jointly by the MIT Plasma Science Fusion Center (PSFC) Commonwealth Systems (CFS) as technology enabler of pathway fusion energy,...
The SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) is the first large-scale (∼3 m), high-field (∼20 T) superconducting fusion magnet based on Rare Earth Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO). Its objective was to retire risk for toroidal field in tokamak, a burning plasma class magnetic confinement energy device. Weighing 10,058 kg and utilizing 270 km of REBCO, TFMC non-insulated, stack-in-plate style magnet. It has three main components: (1) winding pack; (2) structural case; (3) case extensions, or...
Although important to heterogeneous catalysis, the ability accurately model reactions of polyatomic molecules with metal surfaces has not kept pace developments in gas phase dynamics. Partnering specific reaction parameter (SRP) approach density functional theory ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) extends our metals quantitative accuracy from only lightest reactant, H2, essentially all molecules. This is demonstrated AIMD calculations on CHD3 + Ni(111) which SRP fitted supersonic beam...
A new superconducting magnet test facility was created at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) for SPARC Toroidal Field Model Coil (TFMC) program. The designed constructed in parallel with TFMC between 2019 2021, capabilities design approaches tailored to needs of this project its timeline. major components include a cryostat (outer dimensions, 5.3 m×3.7 m×1.5 m) open bore; novel cooling system circulating supercritical helium closed-loop provide ∼600 W power ∼20 bar-a, K; 50 kA,...
Accurately simulating heterogeneously catalyzed reactions requires reliable barriers for molecules reacting at defects on metal surfaces, such as steps. However, first-principles methods capable of computing these to chemical accuracy have yet be demonstrated. We show that state-resolved molecular beam experiments combined with ab initio dynamics using specific reaction parameter density functional theory (SRP-DFT) can determine the molecule-metal surface interaction required reliability....
Thin Ga2O3 films were deposited by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on SrTiO3 (001) and SrTiO3-buffered Si substrates. Examination using reflection-high-energy electron diffraction, x-ray transmission microscopy shows a consistent picture of (100)- (1¯12)-oriented β-Ga2O3 grains. The structural alignments are β-Ga2O3[010] || STO ⟨110⟩ [021] ⟨100⟩, respectively, each with four in-plane rotational domain variants. Successful integration epitaxial could enable major opportunities for...
