Physics-Informed Neural Networks to Infer the Perpendicular Energy Conductivity in the Scrape-Off Layer of Stellarator Devices

The paper presents an inverse Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework that infers the scrape‑off layer (SOL) perpendicular heat conductivity κ_π(n,T) from radial electron density and temperature measurements combined with a reduced one‑dimensional transport equation. Three neural networks are trained simultaneously: two reconstruct the temperature and density profiles, while the third models the conductivity as a function of local density and temperature. The method is validated on synthetic data, achieving errors below 10 % in the data‑constrained region, and is then applied to experimental data from the TJ‑II stellarator using a helium‑beam diagnostic to estimate the effective SOL conductivity.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Fast Multilayer Spectral Inversion of H{\alpha} 6562.8 A and Ca II 8542.1 A Spectra

The paper presents a physics-informed neural network (PINN) that accelerates multilayer spectral inversion (MLSI) of solar chromospheric lines Hα 6562.8 Å and Ca II 8542.1 Å. The PINN predicts MLSI parameters from observed line profiles and uses a differentiable forward model to synthesize spectra, trained in two stages—first with spectral reconstruction loss, then fine‑tuned with conventional MLSI results on a single reference image. Applied to Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph data, the method reproduces key spatial structures and achieves a 12–60× speedup, processing a raster in 5–15 s versus 3–5 min for traditional MLSI.

Data-Driven Reconstruction of Spatially Resolved Electron and Ion Energy Distributions from Macroscopic Plasma Quantities with Deep Neural Networks

Spatially resolved EEDFs/IEDFs provide essential kinetic information about low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) and play a central role in determining transport, chemical reaction rates, and plasma surface interactions. While kinetic simulations directly resolve these distributions, experimental measurements remain challenging and are often invasive, spatially limited, or require assumptions regarding the distribution shape such as a Maxwellian.

A Physics-Chemistry-Informed Neural Network (PCINN) for Real-Time Spatial-ALD Coverage Prediction and Reliable Kinetics Inversion

arXiv:2608. 00212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial atomic layer deposition (SALD) is a leading atmospheric-pressure, high-throughput route to industrial ALD, but design and control are limited by the cost of predicting surface coverage: high-fidelity CFD is far too slow for operating-window scans, while analytic models miss transport modulation such as the gas curtain.
