Grain orientation and temperature dependences of bubbles at tungsten surfaces upon helium plasma exposure

The impact of grain orientation and surface temperature on helium bubble growth at tungsten surfaces exposed to low-pressure helium plasmas was investigated by analyzing the nanoholes formed at the surface. Polycrystalline tungsten samples were exposed to a 2Pa RF plasma at 400W and 79eV positive io...
