A model of the W/Cu interface in the ITER cooling monoblocks from density functional theory

ITER divertor is built with tungsten monoblocks that contain a tungsten–copper interface. There, hydrogen isotopes could possibly accumulate leading to safety and mechanical issues. As a consequence, the tungsten–copper interface has to be modeled and characterized, which is here performed at the at...
