Tungsten will be used as the plasma-facing divertor material in the International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) fusion reactor. Under high temperatures and …

Helium plasma irradiation to various metals leads to peculiar morphology changes as
forming fiberform nanostructures called fuzz when a certain set of conditions is satisfied. In …

Nanostructured tungsten has been proposed as a promising option for plasma facing
materials in future fusion reactors, because compared to conventional tungsten it shows …

The review summarizes recent experimental results of studying heat transfer on rough
surfaces synthesized by plasma. The plasma-surface interaction leads to the stochastic …

As fusion devices push to become more compact, economical, and high performance, one
potentially enabling technology is liquid lithium-based plasma-facing components (LL …

Abstract The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) of beryllium is important
for a ray-tracing simulation to evaluate the effect of reflected light on optical diagnostics in …

Nanocolumnar tungsten surfaces were investigated with numerical techniques regarding
their potential to reduce sputtering by ion bombardment. We simulated a large number of …

Highlights (i) EBSD, nanoindentation and AFM have been used to understand the post-
plasma exposure recrystallization behaviour of W.(ii) These techniques have shown that …

In this study, W-(Y 0.9 La 0.1) 2 O 3 composite powders are fabricated by means of a
combination of wet chemical method and spark plasma sintering. We systematically study …

Tungsten is the preferred material for the first wall. In this paper, W-0.5% wt Y 2 O 3 was
selected for the exposure test of helium plasma, so that fuzz tendrils of considerable …
