About this title

About the Author

Dirk Naujoks, born 1965, has studied at the Moscow Institute of Energy (1983-1989) and acquired his PhD from Lomonosov Moscow State University (1991). From 1991 he has worked at the Max-Planck-Institute of Plasmaphysics (IPP) at its different sites Garching and Berlin and takes now part in the Stellarator project W7-X of the IPP in Greifswald, Germany. In 1999 he stayed a half year at the Argonne National Laboratory as a guest scientist. From 2001 to 2005 he gave lectures at the Humboldt University of Berlin on Computer Simulation in Plasma Physics.

From the Back Cover

Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion deals with the specific contact between the fourth state of matter, i.e. plasma, and the first state of matter, i.e. a solid wall, in controlled fusion experiments. A comprehensive analysis of the main processes of plasma-surface interaction is given together with an assessment of the most critical questions within the context of general criteria and operation limits. It is shown that the choice of plasma-facing materials is reduced to a very limited list of possible candidates. Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion emphasizes that a reliable solution of the material problem can only be found by adjusting the materials to suitable plasma scenarios and vice versa.
