The propensity for nano-tendril bundle (NTB) vs widespread nano-tendril growth (i.e., fuzz) on polycrystalline W under varying ion energy modulation conditions, from DC to peak-to-peak energy modulation of 42 eV at 13.56 MHz, is correlated with the crystal orientation of the underlying grains. Grains that are vicinal to crystal orientations with high surface diffusivity (e.g., {101} for a body centered cubic crystal structure) exhibit NTB growth at lower ion energy modulation amplitude than grains that are vicinal to low surface diffusivity orientations, such as {100}. Adatom mobility considerations are presented to describe the experimental observations. These results support that surface diffusion or W adatom mobility enhanced by ion bombardment plays a key role in the surface morphology evolution of W under He irradiation.
