In 1959 the Journal of Nuclear Materials (JNM) was founded and is now celebrating its
Diamond Anniversary year. The present paper is part of a series in which single JNM …

In this paper, we present a brief historic overview of the research on dust in fusion devices
with carbon plasma-facing components and then highlight the most recent developments in …

The lifetime of tungsten (W) monoblocks under fusion conditions is ambivalent. In this work,
the microstructure dependent mechanical behaviour of pulsed high heat flux (HHF) exposed …

Fusion energy investigation has stepped to a new stage adopting deuterium and tritium as
fuels from the previous stage concentrating hydrogen plasma physics. Special radiation …

This work presents experimental studies of plasma surface interactions (PSIs) during QSPA
plasma impacts on the Sn Capillary Porous Structures (CPSs) in conditions, simulating …

This paper presents experimental studies of plasma-surface interactions during powerful
plasma impacts of a quasi-stationary plasma accelerator (QSPA) on the Sn capillary porous …

Tungsten is considered to be the most promising material for plasma-facing components of
fusion reactors in addition to other industrial and military uses. Activated tungsten dust …

A mathematical model of surface cracking under pulsed heat load was developed. The
model correctly describes a smooth brittle–ductile transition. The elastic deformation is …

Extending the lifetime of tungsten based plasma facing components for future fusion reactors
remains an everlasting challenge. In this work, the microstructure of tungsten monoblocks …

In fusion devices like ITER and DEMO, transient events could result in substantial damage in
the form of erosion of exposed surfaces due to the extreme energy loads. Castellated …
