Isolated nano-tendril bundles on tungsten surfaces exposed to radiofrequency helium plasma

The DIONISOS experiment is used to study the impact of RF helium (He) plasma on the surface morphology of tungsten (W) at a frequency of 13.56MHz. Helium ion energy distributions with a span of 70–75eV, while still below the sputtering threshold result in nano-tendril bundles (NTBs) and free-standin...
