In 1959 the Journal of Nuclear Materials (JNM) was founded and is now celebrating its
Diamond Anniversary year. The present paper is part of a series in which single JNM …

In fusion reactors, surfaces of plasma facing components (PFCs) are exposed to high heat
and particle flux. Tungsten and Copper alloys are primary candidates for plasma facing …

Finding high performance plasma-facing materials (PFMs) is one of the most important and
challenging tasks for realizing the commercial application of fusion reactors. Herein, we …

Tungsten, the primary material under consideration as the divertor material in magnetic-
confinement nuclear fusion reactors, has been known for the last decade to form'fuzz'—a …

Increasing the density of sinks such as grain boundaries and interfaces for irradiation-
induced defects and implanted ions has been demonstrated to be an effective way to …

Helium plasma irradiation to various metals leads to peculiar morphology changes as
forming fiberform nanostructures called fuzz when a certain set of conditions is satisfied. In …

Helium plasma irradiation on metal surfaces leads to the formation of metallic fuzzy
nanostructures accompanied by the growth of helium bubbles in metals. The mechanism of …

Nanotendril “fuzz” will grow under He bombardment under tokamak-relevant conditions on
tungsten plasma-facing materials in a magnetic fusion energy device. We have grown …

Tungsten, the material used in the plasma-facing components (PFCs) of nuclear fusion
reactors, develops a fuzz-like surface morphology under typical reactor operating conditions …

Developing high performance plasma facing materials (PFMs) is one of the greatest
challenges for fusion reactors, because PFMs face unprecedented harsh environments …
