Interstitial hydrogen atoms in W-nitride compounds promoting the formation of atomic vacancies in nuclear fusion reactors

Nitrogen gas seeding has been proposed as a feasible strategy to reduce the edge plasma temperature in nuclear fusion reactors, which could cause the W-nitride compounds to form on the surface layer of the tungsten (W) first wall. Many point defects can be generated in the W-nitride compounds under...
