CONCLUSIONS  Thermo-emission current which is important for the liquid tungsten motion against gravity [4] is too small for the case of liquid

... eryllium  In contrast to liquid tungsten, pressure force due to plasma flow to liquid beryllium is comparable with Lorentz force  For electron temperatures above 40 eV, the total secondary emission from beryllium δ SEE >1 and its current could be sufficient to move the liquid beryllium.  The current along the liquid metal jet moving on the conducting surface prevents the detachment of the jet from the surface.  After the melt damage, beryllium limiters could operate afterwards in divertor configuration without defradation of the plasma performance MOTIVATION
