Structural evolution of tungsten surface exposed to sequential low-energy helium ion irradiation and transient heat loading
Structural damage due to high flux particle irradiation can result in significant changes to the thermal strength of the plasma facing component surface (PFC) during off-normal events in a tokamak. Low-energy He+ ion irradiation of tungsten (W), which is currently the leading candidate material for...
