We report a systematic computational analysis of the mechanical behavior of plasma-facing
component (PFC) tungsten focusing on the impact of void and helium (He) bubble defects …

We report results of systematic molecular-dynamics computations of the elastic properties of
single-crystalline tungsten containing structural defects, voids and overpressurized He …

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 investigate helium flux effects on helium transport and surface evolution in plasma-
facing tungsten using molecular dynamics. The simulations span two orders of magnitude …

We report results from a systematic analysis of thermal expansion of plasma-exposed
tungsten based on molecular-dynamics simulations using models of tungsten with …

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 …

Tungsten is a promising plasma facing material for fusion reactors. Despite many favorable
properties, helium ions incoming from the plasma are known to dramatically affect the …

Taking the example of tungsten, we demonstrate that high-flux plasma exposure of
recrystallized and plastically deformed samples leads to principal differences in the gas …

Under the anticipated operating conditions for demonstration magnetic fusion reactors
beyond ITER, structural materials will be exposed to unprecedented conditions of irradiation …

In this work, the nano-indentation of plasma-exposed tungsten is simulated at room
temperature and elevated temperature (300–700 K) by the recently developed crystal …
