This review summarizes surface morphology changes of tungsten caused by heat and
particle loadings from edge plasmas, and their effects on enhanced erosion and material …

In fusion reactors, surfaces of plasma facing components (PFCs) are exposed to high heat
and particle flux. Tungsten and Copper alloys are primary candidates for plasma facing …

For DEMO and beyond, liquid metal plasma-facing components are considered due to their
resilience to erosion through flowed replacement, potential for cooling beyond conduction …

Plasma detachment research in linear devices, sometimes called divertor plasma
simulators, is reviewed. Pioneering works exploring the concept of plasma detachment were …

Magnum-PSI is an advanced linear plasma device uniquely capable of producing plasma
conditions similar to those expected in the divertor of ITER both steady-state and transients …

Heat loads on the tungsten divertor targets in the ITER and the tokamak power reactors
reach~ 10MW m− 2 in the steady state of DT discharges, increasing to~ 0.6–3.5 GW m− 2 …

Experiments were performed in the Pilot-PSI linear plasma device to study the formation of
helium-induced nanostructures under high heat fluxes (> 10MWm− 2), the erosion of a …

Surface modifications and deuterium retention induced in tungsten by high fluxes (10 24 m−
2 s− 1) low energy (38 eV) deuterium ions were studied as a function of surface temperature …

Doppler broadening spectroscopy in the positron annihilation technique (DBS-PA) has been
employed to investigate the defect properties in argon-damaged tungsten exposed to low …

The thermal response of nanostructured tungsten, which was fabricated in the linear divertor
simulator NAGDIS-II, was investigated using pulsed plasma in the MAGNUM-PSI device and …
