ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Blister formation in W, laboratory studies W. Wang et al., JNM 299 (2001) 124 Surface modifications observed after bombardment of W by hydrogen in laboratory studies Blister formation Polycrystalline tungsten samples (Langmuir probes) exposed in AUG outer divertor in 2007 for 2620 s
3
ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Langmuir probes from outer divertor Blister-like structures are observed
4
ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Langmuir probes from outer divertor Do these structures contain voids? FIB using 30 keV Ga
5
ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Langmuir probes from outer divertor Protective carbon coating for FIB
6
ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Langmuir probes from outer divertor Blister-like structures filled with material, no voids These are no blisters
7
ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Langmuir probes from outer divertor But:
8
ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Langmuir probes from outer divertor A few blisters are observed in this area of the sample
9
ITPA Avilla January 2008 © Matej Mayer Summary Blister-like structures are observed, but they are solid and do not contain voids No blisters A few blisters are observed in some areas of the sample Surface modifications of W due to plasma exposure are small
