Experimental investigation on the effect of surface electric field in the growth of tungsten nano-tendril morphology due to low energy helium irradiation

Journal Article Woller, K. B. ; Whyte, D. G. ; Wright, G. M. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

The mechanisms responsible for and controlling the growth of tungsten nano-tendrils (or “fuzz”) under low-energy helium plasma exposure remain unclear. For the first time in nano-tendril experiments, the plasma sheath-produced electric field and the helium (He) ion energy have been decoupled, showing that the sheath electric field has little impact on nano-tendril growth, eliminating a possible cause for tendril growth. The well-established necessary growth conditions for W fuzz were maintained with He ion flux density Γ_He > 10²¹ He m^–2 s^–1, surface temperature T_s = 1273 K, He ion energy E_He = 64 eV, and He ion fluence Φ_He >more »« less

Crystallographic analysis of nano-tendril bundle vs fuzz growth on tungsten exposed to helicon wave-coupled helium plasma

Journal Article Woller, K. B. ; Whyte, D. G. ; Wright, G. M. - Journal of Applied Physics

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 surfacemore »« less

Isolated nano-tendril bundles on tungsten surfaces exposed to radiofrequency helium plasma

Journal Article Woller, Kevin B. ; Whyte, Dennis G. ; Wright, Graham M. - Nuclear Materials and Energy

The DIONISOS experiment is used to study the impact of RF helium (He) plasma on the surface morphology of tungsten (W) at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. Helium ion energy distributions with a span of 70–75 eV, while still below the sputtering threshold result in nano-tendril bundles (NTBs) and free-standing W whiskers on surfaces at 1020 K. The NTBs are distributed intragranularly with coverage of less than 10% while reaching up to 30 µm normal to the surface for He ion fluence of 7.6 × 10²⁵ m^-2 and flux density of 10²² m^-2 s^-1. Analysis of the NTB interior andmore »« less

Atomistic simulation of brittle-to-ductile transition in silicon carbide embedded with nano-sized helium bubbles

Journal Article Pan, Chenglong ; Zhang, Limin ; Jiang, Weilin ; ... - Journal of Physics. D, Applied Physics

In this study, the tensile response of cubic silicon carbide (SiC) bulk containing cavities (voids and He bubbles) has been investigated using molecular dynamic simulations. The formation of cavities in SiC leads to a significant degradation in the mechanical properties of SiC with more influence on material fracture than initial elastic deformation. The brittle-to-ductile transition occurs in cavity-embedded SiC as the pressure in He bubbles increases. This is associated with the deformation mechanism that bond breaking at a low He bubble pressure transfers to extensive dislocation activities at a higher He bubble pressure. The cavities can effectively concentrate stress aroundmore »« less
