Activating d^(10)electronic configuration to regulate p-band centers as efficient active sites for solar energy conversion into H_(2)by surface atomic arrangement

Relationship between the activity for photocatalytic H_(2)O overall splitting(HOS)and the electron occupancy on d orbits of the active component in photocatalysts shows volcanic diagram,and specially the d^(10)electronic configuration in valley bottom exhibits inert activity,which seriously fetters the development of catalytic materials with great potentials.Herein,In d^(10)electronic configuration of In_(2)O_(3)was activated by phosphorus atoms replacing its lattice oxygen to regulate the collocation of the ascended In 5p-band(Inɛ5p)and descended O 2p-band(Oɛ2p)centers as efficient active sites for chemisorption to*OH and*H during forward HOS,respectively,along with a declined In 4d-band center(Inɛ4d)to inhibit its backward reaction.A stable STH efficiency of 2.23%under AM 1.5 G irradiation at 65°C has been obtained over the activated d^(10)electronic configuration with a lowered activation energy for H_(2)evolution,verified by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy,in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and theoretical calculations of dynamics.These findings devote to activating d^(10)electronic configuration for resolving the reaction energy barrier and dynamical bottleneck of forward HOS,which expands the exploration of high-efficiency catalytic materials.

[目的]工作频率3.7 GHz的TH2103A型高功率速调管广泛应用在托卡马克实验装置中。为了简化高压供电系统(去掉阳极调制中的电真空四极管),在HL-2A装置的TH2103A型速调管中引入了一种基于分压模式的供电方式。为了保证速调管在该供电模式下安全运行,研制了阳极电流的测量和保护系统。[方法]对该供电模式下的阳极电流特点进行了分析:阳极电流会出现正常、正向过流或反向过流的情况。当阳极电流出现正向过流或反向过流时,代表有大量的电子轰击阳极或大量电子从阳极流出,这些现象对速调管来说都是非常危险的,通常会引起速调管钛泵过流,甚至损坏速调管。因此对阳极电流进行准确的测量以及当阳极电流出现过流时切断高压对速调管进行保护非常重要。文章介绍了阳极电流测量系统的原理和供电模式,阳极保护系统的原理和实施方案,在实验过程中对阳极电流的测量和保护系统的可靠性进行了验证。[结果]证明了该供电模式下阳极电流测量和保护系统的有效性和可靠性。[结论]文章所述供电模式和阳极测量保护系统对基于TH2103A型速调管的运行和维护具有重要参考意义。

高Q值单间隙同轴谐振腔的物理设计与实验研究

随着高功率微波源向高功率、高频率和长脉冲方向不断发展,同轴相对论速调管放大器(RKA)成为近年来研究热点之一,然而其发展一直受限于自激振荡等问题存在,为此,设计一种高Q值单间隙同轴谐振腔,以抑制同轴RKA中TEM模式泄露引起的自激振荡。通过对单间隙同轴谐振腔TM_(01)模式与TEM模式转化进行理论分析与仿真模拟,发现同轴谐振腔上下槽深差值与轴向错位值对其Q值变化影响很大,当上下槽深差值与轴向错位值分别为0.3 mm和0 mm时,同轴谐振腔的Q值为极大值(18764),意味着此时谐振腔中两种模式转化最小,多组谐振腔级联后自激振荡风险大大降低。将三组级联的高Q值单间隙同轴谐振腔应用于紧凑型同轴RKA,粒子模拟和实验结果表明,器件的输出微波功率稳定,频谱纯净,无自激振荡等问题存在。

Design and development of radio frequency output window for circular electron–positron collider klystron

This paper presents the first phase of design, analysis, and simulation for the klystron coaxial radio frequency（RF）output window. This study is motivated by 800 kW continuous wave（CW）, 650 MHz klystrons for the future plan of circular electron–positron collider（CEPC） project. The RF window which is used in the klystron output section has a function to separate the klystron from the inner vacuum side to the outside, and high RF power propagates through the window with small power dissipation. Therefore, the window is a key component for the high power klystron. However, it is vulnerable to the high thermal stress and multipacting, so this paper presents the window design and analysis for these problems. The microwave design has been performed by using the computer simulation technology（CST） microwave studio and the return loss of the window has been established to be less than-90 d B. The multipacting simulation of the window has been carried out using MultiPac and CST particles studio. Through the multipacting analysis, it is shown that with thin coating of TiN, the multipacting effect has been suppressed effectively on the ceramic surface. The thermal analysis is carried out using ANSYS code and the temperature of alumina ceramic is lower than 310 K with water cooling.The design result successfully meets the requirement of the CEPC 650 MHz klystron. The manufacturing and high power test plan are also described in this paper.

Design and high-power test of 800-kW UHF klystron for CEPC

To reduce the energy demand and operation cost for circular electron positron collider(CEPC), the high efficiency klystrons are being developed at Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. A 800-k W continuous wave(CW) klystron operating at frequency of 650-MHz has been designed. The results of beam–wave interaction simulation with several different codes are presented. The efficiency is optimized to be 65% with a second harmonic cavity in three-dimensional(3D) particle-in-cell code CST. The effect of cavity frequency error and mismatch load on efficiency of klystron have been investigated. The design and cold test of reentrant cavities are described, which meet the requirements of RF section design. So far, the manufacturing and high-power test of the first klystron prototype have been completed.When the gun operated at DC voltage of 80 k V and current of 15.4 A, the klystron peak power reached 804 k W with output efficiency of about 65.3% at 40% duty cycle. The 1-d B bandwidth is ±0.8 MHZ. Due to the crack of ceramic window, the CW power achieved about 700 kW. The high-power test results are in good agreement with 3D simulation.

Reconstruction of -35 kV/200 kW HVPS for Test of Klystron Units in LHCD System

The paper introduces the -35 kV/200 kW high voltage power supply (HVPS) which is specially used to test klystron units in LHCD system. The new klystrons must be tested under high voltage level before operation and the old klystrons which have worked for a longtime must be exercised by HVPS in lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) system. As the former HVPS has some shortages in engineering design and operation design, the HVPS has to be modified and rebuilt by adopting new method and technology to solve existing bottle-neck problems.

Two methods for improving the equidriving power-frequency characteristics of broad-band high power klystrons are presented. One is that a comb-line bandpass filter with someattenuation properties is inserted between the TWT driver and the klystron for compensatingthe gain-frequency characteristics of the klystron to get the required equidriving power-frequencycharacteristics. The other is that a reactive element is connected with the input cavity to changeits resonance frequencies f0 and QL, and thus to improve the power-frequency characteristics ofthe klystron.

DESIGN OF BEAM-WAVE INTERACTION BASED ON HIGH EFFICIENCY OF A HIGH-POWER BROADBAND KLYSTRON

The paper mainly presents the design of beam-wave interaction of a C-band high-peakpower high-efficiency broadband klystron.The beam-wave interaction section is designed based on considerations of efficiency and bandwidth synthetically.As a part of beam-wave interaction section,buncher section is simulated by Particle-In-Cell(PIC) code to observe the bunching process of electron beam to achieve high conversion efficiency of electron beam and RF field.When it comes to the other part,output circuit is designed as a three-section filter by an output cavity loaded with Chebyshev filter,and the cold test results are given.The beam-wave interaction is simulated by EGUN code and Arsenal-MSU code respectively.The simulated results indicated that,the existence of power dips in the operating bandwidth is verified by Arsenal-MSU code,comparing proper results by EGUN code.Then,the method that design parameters are not adjusted except parameters of buncher cavities to remove potential power dips is described.What is more,the simulated results of electron optics system are given by EGUN code and Arsenal-MSU code respectively.The further hot test results of klystron prove that the whole design of beam-wave interaction is effective.
