Abstract Fundamental understanding of hydrogen–metal interactions is challenging due to a lack knowledge on defect production and/or evolution upon hydrogen ingression, especially for metals undergoing irradiation with ion energy below the displacement thresholds reported in literature. Here, applying novel low-energy argon-sputter depth profiling method significantly improved resolution tungsten (W) surfaces exposed deuterium (D) plasma at 300 K, we show existence 10 nm thick...
Nitrogen puffing is routinely applied in nuclear fusion plasma experiments with tungsten walls to control the amount of power emitted from by radiation. However, as nitrogen retained significant amounts it adds some complexity plasma-wall interaction. Basic questions concerning interaction tungsten, namely energy and temperature dependent retention implanted into erosion formed nitride deuterium, are still open. To address these questions, laboratory a mass-filtered ion source sample...
Blistering of tungsten (W) surfaces due to deuterium (D) implantation was investigated by a sequence exposures at two different temperatures—230 and 450 K—and the reversed sequence. A single exposure 230 K leads high areal density small dome-shaped blisters (up 3 µm in diameter) together with much smaller flat-topped structures, while 450-K produces large up 40 diameter without structures. Most from disappeared after annealing for 17 h, but survived even grew size if surface exposed D plasma...

Hydrogen-induced cracking (HiC) or blistering is a commonly observed feature in plasma-loaded material surfaces. HiC exhibits strong dependence on the irradiation parameters, such as incident flux and fluence, particle energy, sample temperature. However, underlying physics of this process still not understood. Focusing with intragranular cavities tungsten (W) exposed to deuterium (D) plasma, we apply one-dimensional (1D) flux-balance model further propose crucial role solute D distribution...
