Physical sputtering code for fusion applications
A computer code, DSPUT, has been developed to compute the physical sputtering yields for various plasma particles incident on candidate fusion reactor first-wall materials. The code, which incorporates the energy and angular-dependence of the sputtering yield, treats both high-and low-Z wall materials. The physical sputtering yield is expressed in terms of the atomic and mass numbers of the incident and target atoms, the surface binding energy of the wall materials, and the incident angle and energy of the particle. An auxiliary code has been written to provide sputtering yields for a Maxwellian-averaged incident particle flux. The code DSPUT has been used as part of a Monte Carlo code for analyzing plasma-wall interactions.
