The mobility of small vacancy/helium complexes in tungsten and its impact on retention in fusion-relevant conditions

Abstract Tungsten is a promising plasma facing material for fusion reactors. Despite many favorable properties, helium ions incoming from the plasma are known to dramatically affect the microstructure of tungsten, leading to bubble growth, blistering, and/or to the formation of fuzz. In order to dev...
