This review summarizes surface morphology changes of tungsten caused by heat and
particle loadings from edge plasmas, and their effects on enhanced erosion and material …

The interaction processes between the burning plasma and the first wall in a fusion reactor
are diverse: the first wall will be exposed to extreme thermal loads of up to several tens of …

Heat loads on the tungsten divertor targets in the ITER and the tokamak power reactors
reach~ 10MW m− 2 in the steady state of DT discharges, increasing to~ 0.6–3.5 GW m− 2 …

Progress in the definition of the requirements for edge localized mode (ELM) control and the
application of ELM control methods both for high fusion performance DT operation and non …

The refractory tungsten alloys with high ductility/strength/plasticity are highly desirable for a
wide range of critical applications. Here we report an interface design strategy that achieves …

A newly established scaling of the ELM energy fluence using dedicated data sets from JET
operation with CFC & ILW plasma facing components (PFCs), ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) …

DEMO is the name for the first stage prototype fusion reactor considered to be the next step
after ITER towards realizing fusion. For the realization of fusion energy especially, materials …

For DEMO and beyond, liquid metal plasma-facing components are considered due to their
resilience to erosion through flowed replacement, potential for cooling beyond conduction …

Component development for operation in a large-scale fusion device requires thorough
testing and qualification for the intended operational conditions. In particular environments …

Samples of tungsten and tungsten–tantalum alloy (with 5 mass per cent of Ta) were exposed
to high-flux deuterium plasma at different fluences. The surface modification was studied …
