Descrição: Blister formation and D retention in W have been investigated for low energy (∼55 ± 15 eV), high flux (∼10 22 m −2 s −1 ), high fluence (⩽4.5 × 10 26 m −2 ) ion bombardment at moderate temperature (∼573 K) in mixed species D+He plasmas in the linear divertor plasma simulator PISCES-A. The amount of D retained in W is found to decrease significantly when compared with that in W exposed to pure D plasmas, as measured with high resolution thermal desorption spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy observations reveal the suppression of the blisters, a surface feature known to drive up retention, in the D + He mixture plasma exposed W samples. Reduced D retention is accompanied by the formation of nano-sized high density He bubbles in the near surface, observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM). It is believed that the nano-bubbles act as a diffusion barrier to implanted D atoms and consequently reduce the amount of uptake in the W material. This newly observed effect implies that current predictions of D retention in W, in actual fusion devices, may be overestimated, since there will be He ash in fusion plasma. Toughness enhanced, fine-grained (grain size of ∼1 µm) W–TiC samples, exposed to pure D plasma conditions, also show little or no evidence of blistering. The measured D retention in the W–TiC samples was approximately 1 × 10 19 D m −2 corresponding to about 2 × 10 −7 of the implanted D fluence, and is very low compared with the retention in pure stress relieved W, which exhibited surface blisters and had a D retention of about 1 × 10 21 D m −2 .
