Experimental tests of LiSn alloys as potential liquid metal for the divertor target in a fusion reactor

The first experiments of exposure of a LiSn alloy (Li/Sn atomic ratio= 20/80) to a hydrogen plasma in TJ-II are here presented. Solid and liquid samples have been inserted at the edge and evidence of sample melting of a solid sample during plasma exposure has been observed. A negligible perturbation...
