The solution is a method for processing zirconia, including the step of irradiating the zirconia with a laser with a pulse duration of 10−12 seconds to 10−15 seconds at an intensity of 1013 to 1015 W/cm2.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tracer-encapsulated solid pellet for magnetic-confinement fusion, the method comprising a liquid droplet formation step of discharging an organic liquid containing an organic solvent into a stabilizing liquid to thereby form liquid droplets 12, and an organic solvent removal step of removing the organic solvent from the liquid droplets 12A. The organic liquid to be used is a liquid having a first organic polymer containing tracer atoms and a second organic polymer being an organic polymer different from the first organic polymer dissolved in the organic solvent, wherein the first organic polymer and the second organic polymer can be mutually phase-separated.
