This process uses a permeable capsule coupled into the final target capsule with a 0.03-mmdiameter fill tube. Leak free permeation filling of glow-discharge polymerization(GDP) targets using this method have been successfully demonstrated, as well as ice layering of the target, yielding an inner ice surface roughness of 1-μm rms(root mean square). Finally, the measured DT ice-thickness profile for this experiment was used to validate a thermal model's prediction of the same thickness profile.展开更多
