Fine Liquid-Metal Load for Repeatable Applications of Pulsed-power Discharge

We have demonstrated a thin liquid-metal load for repeatable applications using pulsed-power discharge. To understand the liquid-metal behavior, we measured the liquid-metal diameter as a function of hydrodynamical normalized number. We found that the length and diameter of liquid-metal can use the hybrid X-pinch system. To demonstrate the thin liquid-metal load, we used a pulsed-power system using a magnetic switch. We demonstrated the repeatable discharge using pulsed-power system. The results show that the time-evolution of optical emission is reproduced within the experiments. It reveals that our proposed liquid-metal load is well repeatable applications for pulsed-power discharge.
