I have suggested lithium heat pipes in this role of passive heat control. It would be even better to use a electronically controlled negative feedback system to discourage the amalgamation of micro/nano particles based on temperature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLVO_theory DLVO theory has been used to control the attraction between nano-particles in many industries. This mechanism might be used to stabilize nanoparticle formation that are condensing out of plasma at the end of a "mouse run" to put a leash on the supercritical cat.
