\alpha加热可维持等离子体自持燃烧,在聚变研究中备受关注.在惯性约束聚变(ICF)中,氘氚(DT)燃料可能混入杂质粒子,影响反应效率.本文通过计算\alpha粒子输运的电子-离子能量分配因子及射程,探讨铍(Be)与燃料混合对\alpha加热的影响.本研究取混合物密度为4.15\\mathrmg/cm^3和415.0\\mathrmg/cm^3,讨论了离子和电子温度从0.1 keV变化至100.0 keV的情况.计算中假设所有等离子体组分均处在热力学平衡态且温度相等,同时DT和Be离子完全电离.混合物中各成分的分密度由平均原子模型获得.研究发现,Be离子的混合会降低DT离子的能量分配因子,当混合度达到0.05时降幅可超过10%,同时导致高温下电子能量分配因子缓慢减小.Be离子相较于DT离子更易被加热.另外,Be混合在多数情况下会缩短\alpha粒子的射程.与金(Au)离子的混合相比,Be混合对DT离子的能量分配因子及\alpha粒子的射程影响更小.这些差异主要源于两者在电荷态、质量、平均原子模型中电子的屏蔽效应以及束缚电子状态方面的不同.本研究的计算数据可为ICF靶丸设计提供重要参考.本文数据集可在https://www.doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00213.00282中访问获取(审稿阶段请通过私有访问链接查看本文数据集https://www.scidb.cn/s/BbIJzm).\alpha-heating has attracted considerable attention in fusion research because it plays a key role in achieving self-sustained burning of plasmas. In inertial confinement fusion (ICF), deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel may mix with impurity particles, which can affect reaction efficiency. This study investigates the effect of beryllium (Be) mixing with DT fuel on \alpha-heating by calculating the electron-ion energy partition fraction and the range of \alpha particles. Mixture densities of 4.15\ \mathrmg/cm^3 and 415.0\ \mathrmg/cm^3 are considered, with ion and electron temperatures ranging from 0.1 keV to 100.0 keV. All plasma components are in thermodynamic equilibrium and share the same temperature. Both DT and Be ions are assumed to be fully ionized. The partial densities of different species in the mixture are obtained using the average atom model. The results show that mixing with Be ions reduces the energy partition fraction of DT ions. When the mixing degree reaches 0.05, this reduction exceeds 10%. Mixing also leads to a gradual decrease in the electron energy partition fraction at high temperatures. Moreover, Be ions are heated more easily than DT ions. In addition, Be mixing shortens the range of \alpha particles in most cases. Compared with the mixing of gold (Au) ions, Be mixing has a smaller impact on the energy partition fraction of DT ions and the range of \alpha particles. These differences may originate from the distinct charge states, masses, electron screening in the average atom model, and bound-electron effects of the two impurity species. The data calculated in this study provide important references for future ICF ignition target design.
