Measuring temperature effects on nano-bubble growth in tungsten with grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering

W samples were exposed to He plasma in the MAGPIE, NAGDIS-II and PISCES-A across a range of sample temperatures between 473–1123K. GISAXS was used to quantify the effect of plasma fluence and W surface temperature on He nano-bubble size distributions. In NAGDIS-II at 873K nano-bubbles are exponentia...
