Tungsten, the primary material under consideration as the divertor material in magnetic-
confinement nuclear fusion reactors, has been known for the last decade to form'fuzz'—a …

Tungsten (W) has shown promise to be the most favored plasma facing material in nuclear
fusion with deuterium (D) and tritium (T) as fuel. In order to identify a better material …

The interaction of H or He atoms with a core of edge and screw dislocations (SDs), with
Burgers vector a 0/2$\left\langle {\rm 1}\,{\rm 1}\,{\rm 1}\right\rangle $, is studied by means of …

Herein, we investigate the saturation limits of hydrogen on the (110) and (100) surfaces of
tungsten via Density Functional Theory (DFT) and complement our findings with …

Understanding the interaction between hydrogen (H) and helium-vacancy (He-V) complexes
in tungsten (W) is important for the development of plasma-facing materials in fusion …

The diffusion and self-clustering nucleation behavior of hydrogen (H) without vacancies
below tungsten (W) surfaces are important for understanding the retention of deuterium (D) …

An exhaustive analysis based on density functional theory (DFT) simulations of the
accumulation of several He atoms has been performed at the vicinity of a non-coherent W< …

The behaviour of helium impurities inside metals has been well studied in the last 30 years,
however, little attention has been devoted to helium atoms inside liquid metals. Here we …

Tungsten is a candidate to be used as plasma facing materials in future fusion nuclear
reactors. There, the material has to withstand large radiation fluxes and thermal loads …

As a plasma facing material, tungsten (W) is exposed to high-flux hydrogen isotope plasma,
enduring unwanted surface blistering. Here, we performed first-principles calculations on the …
