Effects of sequential tungsten and helium ion implantation on nano-indentation hardness of tungsten

To simulate neutron and helium damage in a fusion reactor first wall sequential self-ion implantation up to 13 dpa followed by helium-ion implantation up to 3000 appm was performed to produce damaged layers of ∼2 μm depth in pure tungsten. The hardness of these layers was measured using nanoindentat...
