Blistering and hydrogen retention in poly- and single- crystals of aluminum by a joint experimental-modeling approach

Aluminum samples have been exposed to a hydrogen plasma generated by a low-pressure – high-density microwave reactor. Aluminum has been chosen as a surrogate for Beryllium. The fluence was kept below 4 × 1024 ions/m2, in order to study the first steps of nucleation and growth of surface and bulk def...
