Nanostructuring of molybdenum and tungsten surfaces by low-energy helium ions

Journal Article De Temmerman, Gregory ; Bystrov, Kirill ; Zielinski, Jakub J. ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

The formation of metallic nanostructures by exposure of molybdenum and tungsten surfaces to high fluxes of low energy helium ions is studied as a function of the ion energy, plasma exposure time, and surface temperature. Helium plasma exposure leads to the formation of nanoscopic filaments on the surface of both metals. The size of the helium-induced nanostructure increases with increasing surface temperature while the thickness of the modified layer increases with time. In addition, the growth rate of the nanostructured layer also depends on the surface temperature. The size of the nanostructure appears linked with the size of the near-surfacemore »« less

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

Temperature dependence of underdense nanostructure formation in tungsten under helium irradiation

Journal Article Valles, G. ; Martin-Bragado, I. ; Nordlund, K. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Recently, tungsten has been found to form a highly underdense nanostructured morphology (“W fuzz”) when bombarded by an intense flux of He ions, but only in the temperature window 900–2000 K. Furthermore, using object kinetic Monte Carlo simulations (pseudo-3D simulations) parameterized from first principles, we show that this temperature dependence can be understood based on He and point defect clustering, cluster growth, and detrapping reactions. At low temperatures (<900 K), fuzz does not grow because almost all He is trapped in very small He-vacancy clusters. At high temperatures (>2300 K), all He is detrapped from clusters, preventing the formation ofmore »« less
