Atomistic simulations of tungsten surface evolution under low-energy neon implantation

Journal Article Backman, Marie ; Hammond, Karl D. ; Sefta, Faiza ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Tungsten is a candidate material for the divertor of fusion reactors, where it will be subject to a high flux of particles coming from the fusion plasma as well as a significant heat load. Under helium plasma exposure in fusion-reactor-like conditions, a nanostructured morphology is known to form on the tungsten surface in certain temperature and incident energy ranges, although the formation mechanism is not fully established. A recent experimental study (Yajima et al 2013 Plasma Sci. Technol. 15 282-6) using neon or argon exposure did not produce similar nanostructure. Here, this article presents molecular dynamics simulations of neon implantationmore »« less

Large-scale atomistic simulations of low-energy helium implantation into tungsten single crystals

Journal Article Hammond, Karl D. ; Blondel, Sophie ; Hu, Lin ; ... - Acta Materialia

Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of post-implantation helium behavior in plasma-facingtungsten single crystals reveal orientation-dependent depth profiles, surface evolution patterns, andother crystallographic and diffusion-related characteristics of helium behavior in tungsten during thefirst microsecond. The flux of implanted helium atoms studied,Gz 4 1025m2s1, is about one orderof magnitude larger than that expected in ITER, the experimental fusion reactor currently being con-structed in France. With simulation times on the order of 1ms, these results serve to discover themechanisms involved in surface evolution as well as to serve as benchmarks for coarse-grained simu-lations such as kinetic Monte Carlo and continuum-scale dri ftereactionediffusion cluster dynamicssimulations.more »« less

Sputtering yields of pure and helium-implanted tungsten under fusion-relevant conditions calculated using molecular dynamics

Journal Article Ferroni, Francesco ; Hammond, Karl D. ; Wirth, Brian D. - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Here, this study uses atomistic simulations to calculate the sputtering yield of tungsten in the presence and absence of near-surface helium clusters. We find that near-surface helium in the concentrations tested (consistent with 100 eV implantation fluences of 1.0 and 2.2 x 10¹⁹ He m^-2 at a flux on the order of 10²⁵ He m^-2 s^-1) has a negligible effect on the sputtering yield, suggesting that any changes in sputtering that might be observed experimentally are due either to much higher near-surface concentrations of helium or due to other structural changes in the tungsten that would occur only at muchmore »« less
