The plasma facing components, first wall, and blanket systems of future tokamak-based
fusion power plants arguably represent the single greatest materials engineering challenge …

The interaction of fusion reactor plasma with the material of the first wall involves a complex
multitude of interlinked physical and chemical effects. Hence, modern theoretical treatment …

We present calculations of secondary electron emission (SEE) yields in tungsten as a
function of primary electron energies between 100 eV and 1 keV and incidence angles …

According to the present design beryllium (Be), tungsten (W) and carbon (C) will be the
plasma facing materials in the ITER fusion reactor. Due to sputtering and subsequent re …

Computer modelling is expected to play an increasingly important role in fusion design and
technology, where the complexity of the physical processes involved (plasma, materials …

Surface erosion and secondary electron emission (SEE) have been identified as the most
critical life-limiting factors in channel walls of Hall-effect thrusters for space propulsion …

This Memorandum for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is open analysis of the major
outcomes and implications emerging from the United States Army War College s 25th …

We perform classical molecular dynamics simulations of the chemical sputtering of
deuterated amorphous carbon surfaces by D and D 2, at energies of 7.5–30 eV D− 1 …

H+ ion-induced damage of multilayer graphene (MLG) is investigated using Molecular
