In this paper, the structural, surface, optical, and electrical properties of tungsten oxide thin
films were analyzed. Eight sets of WO x thin films were prepared using the magnetron …

We studied the influence of thin, electro-chemically grown tungsten (W) surface oxide films
on hydrogen isotope release from W. As deuterium (D) reservoir underneath the oxide, we …

Hydrogen permeation through pure and oxidised bulk chromium membranes was measured
by the classical gas technique to get insight into oxide as a hydrogen permeation barrier …

The accurate and rapid identification of explosives and their toxic by-products is an
important aspect of safety protocols, forensic investigations and pollution studies. Herein …

The WC-Cu composite used as a thermal barrier interlayer between tungsten and CuCrZr
heat sink can effectively alleviate the thermal strain mismatch. In this work, the interaction of …

Recently we have shown that thin (33 to 55 nm) oxide films on tungsten (W) prevent
deuterium (D) uptake from a low-temperature plasma (5 eV/D; 370 K; 1.4× 10 24 D/m 2) into …

For future fusion power plants, the uptake, retention and release of fuel elements (deuterium
and radioactive tritium) in plasma-facing components (PFCs) is essential for the fuel self …
