摘要：

We describe Z-pinch experiments imploding an aluminum-plasma jet onto a coaxial, micron-diameter wire. Spatially resolved x-ray pinhole images and time resolved x-ray data indicate that energy is supplied initially to the aluminum-jet plasma and subsequently transferred to the wire. The resultant pinch appears more uniform (stable) than a wire-only or jet-only pinch and demonstrates that an imploding-plasma liner will couple energy from a pulsed-power generator to a micron-diameter-sized plasma channel.
