Based on a continuous-domain model, capable of accessing the spatiotemporal scales
relevant to fuzz formation on the surface of plasma-facing component (PFC) tungsten, we …

Based on simulation results and theoretical analysis according to an atomistically informed
continuum-scale model for the surface morphological response of tungsten plasma-facing …

We report a simulation study on the effects of helium (He) bubble size on the morphological
evolution and pattern formation on the surface of tungsten used as a plasma-facing …

We report simulation results on the effect of helium (He) bubble bursting-mediated surface
hole formation on the surface morphological response of tungsten plasma-facing …

We report a simulation study of the effect of He-irradiation-induced surface vacancy-adatom
pair formation on the surface morphological evolution of plasma-facing component (PFC) …

Tungsten, the material used in the plasma-facing components (PFCs) of nuclear fusion
reactors, develops a fuzz-like surface morphology under typical reactor operating conditions …

Surface free energy has been hypothesized as the cause behind the experimental evidence
(Parish et al., 2014) of a strong correlation between crystallographic orientation and surface …

Tungsten undergoes surface morphology changes on the nanometer scale when subjected
to low energy helium ion bombardment. This is due in part to the ion bombardment causing …

Polished W discs exposed to pure He plasma in the PISCES-B linear-divertor-plasma
simulator at 1120 and 1320 K are found to develop deeply nanostructured surface layers …

Time-modulated helium (He) ion energy (eg V Bias=− 50+ 25· sin (2πf RF· t), f RF= 13.56
MHz) is demonstrated to strongly affect the development of tungsten (W) surface morphology …
