Mayer, August

Mayer had married in 1842, and for the first few years his marriage was a vei y happy one, but then his life began to fall apart. Between May 1845 and August 1848 three of his children died. A nasty priority controversy with Joule became public when their claims were read and discussed by the Academy of Science in Paris. Mayer was upset that his writings on energy conservation were not more widely read, and that they often were not appreciated by the few scientists who did read them. And, as the final blow, he was accused by local scientists of being more a mad philosopher than a competent scientist. 

Two cavity probes were installed in the divertor of JET in the period from August f999 till November 2001. One was installed below the septum and the other in the inner module of the divertor. The analysis of these cavities was published by M. Mayer in 2003 [51]. Thick deposits of up to 14 and 45 pm were found on the outside of the inner module and septum cavity, respectively. The corresponding maximum thicknesses inside the cavity at the position opposite to the entrance slit are 15 and 10 pm. Ion-beam analysis of the layers showed that they consist mainly of D and C with a D/C ratio of about 1. Interestingly, the morphology and density of the two samples is very different. While the layer from the inner module is smooth with a density typical of a C H layers, the one from the septum is very porous and has about half the density only. The reason for this obvious difference remains unclear. A fit of the deposition profiles in the cavities leads to the conclusion that the layers are mainly deposited from species with a high surface loss probability (fH > 0.9) and a minor contribution of species with a low surface loss probability (f3 < 10-2). New cavity probes were installed inside the JET divertor in November 2001. They are planed to be removed in 2004.
