- For the past several years, the JET scientific programme (Pamela et al 2007 Fusion Eng. Des. 82 590) has been engaged in a multi-campaign effort, including experiments in D, H and T, leading up to 2020 and the first experiments with 50%/50% D-T mixtures since 1997 and the first ever D-T plasmas with the ITER mix of plasma-facing component materials. For this purpose, a concerted physics and technology programme was launched with a view to prepare the D-T campaign (DTE2). This paper addresses the key elements developed by the JET programme directly contributing to the D-T preparation. This intense preparation includes the review of the physics basis for the D-T operational scenarios, including the fusion power predictions through first principle and integrated modelling, and the impact of isotopes in the operation and physics of D-T plasmas (thermal and particle transport, high confinement mode (H-mode) access, Be and W erosion, fuel recovery, etc). This effort also requires improving several aspects of plasma operation for DTE2, such as real time control schemes, heat load control, disruption avoidance and a mitigation system (including the installation of a new shattered pellet injector), novel ion cyclotron resonance heating schemes (such as the three-ions scheme), new diagnostics (neutron camera and spectrometer, active Alfven eigenmode antennas, neutral gauges, radiation hard imaging systems...) and the calibration of the JET neutron diagnostics at 14 MeV for accurate fusion power measurement. The active preparation of JET for the 2020 D-T campaign provides an incomparable source of information and a basis for the future D-T operation of ITER, and it is also foreseen that a large number of key physics issues will be addressed in support of burning plasmas.

- The objective of thermonuclear fusion consists of producing electricity from the coalescence of light nuclei in high temperature plasmas. The most promising route to fusion envisages the confinement of such plasmas with magnetic fields, whose most studied configuration is the tokamak. Disruptions are catastrophic collapses affecting all tokamak devices and one of the main potential showstoppers on the route to a commercial reactor. In this work we report how, deploying innovative analysis methods on thousands of JET experiments covering the isotopic compositions from hydrogen to full tritium and including the major D-T campaign, the nature of the various forms of collapse is investigated in all phases of the discharges. An original approach to proximity detection has been developed, which allows determining both the probability of and the time interval remaining before an incoming disruption, with adaptive, from scratch, real time compatible techniques. The results indicate that physics based prediction and control tools can be developed, to deploy realistic strategies of disruption avoidance and prevention, meeting the requirements of the next generation of devices.

- We have demonstrated optically pumped room-temperature pulse lasing at 300.4 nm from an AlGaN-based multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structure grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on a c-sapphire substrate. The lasing was achieved at the threshold peak power of similar to 12 MW/cm(2). The MQW structure involved AlGaN/AlN short-period super-lattices to decrease the threading dislocation densities from 10(11) down to 10(9)-10(10) cm(-2). Studies of time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra and cw PL temperature dependences (10-300K) of different MQW structures, as well as numerical calculations of the optical gain and confinement in the laser structure allowed us to conclude about the optimum design of AlGaN-based MQW structures for the lower threshold UV lasing.

- The paper deals with reactions of freshly precipitated diisopropyl dithiophosphate (Dtph) complexes of nickel(II), [Ni{S2P(O-iso-C3H7)(2)}(2)] and cadmium, [Cd-2{S2P(O-iso-C3H7)(2)}(4)], with the [AuCl4](-) in 2M HCl, resulting in gold transition from the solution to the precipitate as polymeric gold(I) diisopropyl dithiophosphate. The reduction of gold(III) to gold(I) noted in both cases is due to oxidation of the relevant part of the Dtph group to bis(O,O'-di-(iso)-propoxythiophosphoryl) disulfide, (iso-C3H7O)(2)P(S)S-S(S)P(O-iso-C3H7)(2). The polynuclear gold(I) complex [Au-2{S2P(O-iso-C3H7)(2)}(2)] (n) (I) was isolated on a preparative scale from the chemisorption system and studied by MAS P-31 NMR and X-ray diffraction. The key structural unit of I is the non-centrosymmetric binuclear molecule [Au-2{S2P(O-iso-C3H7)(2)}(2)] in which the gold atoms are connected by two bridging Dtph groups. The structure contains two types of non-equivalent binuclear molecules related as conformational isomers. Owing to the relatively weak Au-Au contacts, the neighboring binuclear [Au-2{S2P(O-iso-C3H7)(2)}(2)] molecules are involved in an infinite polymeric chain with conformer alternation along the chain. To elucidate the conditions for the recovery of bound gold(I), the precipitates formed in the sorption systems were studied by simultaneous thermal analysis under argon. As the final product, thermolysis gives reduced metallic gold. The ability of dithiophosphate complexes to bind gold from a solution is much lower than that of dithiocarbamate complexes, which is due to oxidation of some Dtph groups to disulfide.

- Crystalline bis(O,O’-di-sec-butyldithiophosphato)platinum(II) was prepared and studied by means of 31P, 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The unit cell of the platinum(II) compound is comprised of one centrosymmetric mononuclear molecule [Pt{S2P(O-sec-C4H9)2}2], in which the dithiophosphate groups display structural equivalence in both 31P NMR and XRD data. A pair of the dithiophosphate ligands exhibit the same S,S’-bidentate chelating structural function and form two planar four-membered chelate rings, [PtS2P], in this molecule. The planar configuration of the [PtS4] chromophore in structure 1 is governed by the dsp2-hybrid state of platinum(II). The structural states of the dithiophosphate groups in two different samples of complex 1 (one crystallised from ethanol and the other one precipitated from an aqueous solution) are all characterised by almost rhombic 31P chemical shift tensors. The observed essential dispersion of the 31P NMR chemical shift is caused by a coexistence of six optical isomers of molecule 1. The thermal behaviour of this compound was studied by means of simultaneous thermal analysis (a combination of TG and DSC) under an argon atmosphere. The thermal behaviour shows that the mass of 1 is lost in three steps, involving successive thermal decompositions of the organic and inorganic parts of this compound with platinum(II) dithio-meta-phosphate and reduced metallic platinum as the intermediate and the final products, respectively.
