Amorphous and anisotropic surface relief formation in tungsten under repeated high-flux hydrogen plasma loads

Facing extreme plasma loads, the structural integrity of the tungsten divertor is crucial for ITER, an engineering marvel in nuclear fusion reactors, to achieve its fusion performance targets. Induced by repeated transient heating from plasmas, the thermal fatigue damage of tungsten–typically accomp...
