The prediction and control of the transformation of void structures with high-temperature processing is a critical area in many engineering applications. In this work, focused on the void shape evolution of silicon, a novel algebraic model for the calculation of final equilibrium structures from initial void cylindrical trenches, driven by surface diffusion, is introduced. This algebraic model provides a simple and fast way to calculate expressions to predict the final geometrical characteristics, based on linear perturbation analysis. The obtained results are similar to most compared literature data, especially, to those in which a final transformation is reached. Additionally, the model can be applied in any materials affected by the surface diffusion. With such a model, the calculation of void structure design points is greatly simplified not only in the semiconductors field but in other engineering fields where surface diffusion phenomenon is studied.

The high temperature isolation valve (HTIV) is a key component to assure the safety of a high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) connected with a hydrogen production system, that is, protection of radioactive material release from the reactor to the hydrogen production system and combustible gas ingress to the reactor at the accident of fracture of an intermediate heat exchanger and the chemical reactor. The HTIV used in the helium condition over 900 °C, however, has not been made for practical use yet. The conceptual structure design of an angle type HTIV was carried out. A seat made of Hasteloy-XR is welded inside a valve box. Internal thermal insulation is employed around the seat and a liner because high temperature helium gas over 900 °C flows inside the valve. Inner diameter of the top of seat was set 445 mm based on fabrication experiences of valve makers. A draft overall structure was proposed based on the diameter of seat. The numerical analysis was carried out to estimate temperature distribution and stress of metallic components by using a three-dimensional finite element method code. Numerical results showed that the temperature of the seat was simply decreased from the top around 900 °C to the root, and the thermal stress locally increased at the root of the seat which was connected with the valve box. The stress was lowered below the allowable limit 120 MPa by decreasing thickness of the connecting part and increasing the temperature of valve box to around 350 °C. The stress also increased at the top of the seat. Creep analysis was also carried out to estimate a creep-fatigue damage based on the temperature history of the normal operation and the depressurization accident.

HTGR, short for high temperature gas cooled reactor, has gained a lot of attention in nuclear industry. Gas helium, 7MPa in pressure, is used as primary coolant of HTR-PM in where there are a lot of electrical equipment. Insulating property of helium is worse than that of air according to Paschen curves and there are very few articles or related standards about insulating property of high pressure gas helium, which makes the electrical equipment structure design lack of basis. In this study, an experimental platform for testing insulating performance is designed, based on which the experiments of testing the withstanding voltages of penetration assemblies and the breakdown voltages of parallel plane electrodes at different pressures are carried out. The results show that for both the penetration assemblies and the parallel plane, their breakdown voltages in helium are far lower than in air under the same condition of 15°C /0.1MPa. For the penetration assemblies, their insulating properties in helium at 150°C/7MPa are better than those in air at 15°C/0.1MPa.

Thermal emitters with properties of wavelength-selective and narrowband have been highly sought after for a variety of potential applications due to their high energy efficiency in the mid-infrared spectral range. In this study, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the tunable narrowband thermal emitter based on fully planar Si-W-SiN/SiNO multilayer, which is realized by the excitation of Tamm plasmon polaritons between a W layer and a SiN/SiNO-distributed Bragg reflector. In conjunction with electromagnetic simulations by the FDTD method, the optimum structure design of the emitter is implemented by 2.5 periods of DBR structure, and the corresponding emitter exhibits the nearly perfect narrowband absorption performance at the resonance wavelength and suppressed absorption performance in long wave range. Additionally, the narrowband absorption peak is insensitive to polarization mode and has a considerable angular tolerance of incident light. Furthermore, the actual high-quality Si-W-SiN/SiNO emitters are fabricated through lithography-free methods including magnetron sputtering and PECVD technology. The experimental absorption spectra of optimized emitters are found to be in good agreement with the simulated absorption spectra, showing the tunable narrowband absorption with all peak values of over 95%. Remarkably, the fabricated Si-W-SiN/SiNO emitter presents excellent high-temperature stability for several heating/cooling cycles confirmed up to 1200 K in Ar ambient. This easy-to-fabricate and tunable narrowband refractory emitter paves the way for practical designs in various photonic and thermal applications, such as thermophotovoltaic and IR radiative heaters.
