A novel mechanism and model of hydrogen isotope exchange in vacancy considering nuclear quantum effects

Tritium (T) retention in plasma-facing materials (PFMs) raises significant radiological safety concerns and adversely affects the self-sustained burning of T in fusion reactors. Therefore, the removal of retained T from PFMs has become an urgent task. Hydrogen isotope (HI) exchange has proven to be...
