The provision of a particle and power exhaust solution which is compatible with first-wall components edge-plasma conditions key area present-day fusion research mandatory for successful operation ITER DEMO. work package plasma-facing (WP PFC) within the European programme complements laboratory experiments, i.e. in linear plasma devices, electron ion beam loading facilities, studies performed toroidally confined magnetic such as JET, ASDEX Upgrade, WEST etc. connection both groups done via...
Combined magnetron sputtering and ion implantation (CMSII) is a deposition technique involving simultaneous high energy bombardment of the coating during its growth. A voltage pulse discharge (U=40 kV, τ=20 μs, f=25 Hz) superposed over in this way, positive ions are accelerated to components be coated, bombarding initially substrate then itself. In framework ITER-like wall project method was applied produce nanostructured W coatings on carbon fibre composite (CFC) substrate. These have been...
The growth of nickel/carbon nanocomposite thin films by a hybrid plasma process, which combines magnetron sputtering and enhanced chemical vapor deposition, has been investigated. This study shown that the consist nickel-rich nanostructures embedded in an amorphous carbon matrix. size, distribution, density, shape these are directly dependent to total content within films. At low (∼28 at. %), dense nanowire array perpendicularly oriented surface substrate can be fabricated. For intermediate...
ITER foresees applying laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as a tool for quantitative assessment of fuel retention in the first walls. One open problem related to LIBS application is choice type. Here we compare two Nd/YAG lasers with different pulse durations, 0.15 and 8 ns, working at λ = 1064 nm studies samples D-doped W/Al coatings ≈ 3 μm thickness (Al used proxy Be) on Mo. Low pressure argon was background gas. Experiments were done conditions where other factors (broadening...
Different studies reveal the behaviour of Ta alloying to decrease deuterium retention in tungsten bulk materials aiming be used for nuclear fusion applications. In this work, W and W-5 %Ta coatings were produced via magnetron sputtering techniques. The elemental composition samples spread lattice was confirmed by GDOES, PIXE μ-PIXE, respectively. Sets W-Ta simultaneously irradiated with a single 2H2+ or sequential 4He+/2H2+ ion beam implantations using incident energies 30 keV fluences 5 ×...
