The change in surface damage/microstructures and its effects on the hydrogen (H)
isotope/helium (He) dynamic behavior are the key factors for investigating issues of tungsten …

Tungsten has been considered as one of suitable candidate as plasma-facing material for
the first wall of fusion devices. However, the application of tungsten in fusion reactions …

Displacement damage, through heavy ion irradiation was studied on two tungsten grades
(coarse grained tungsten (CGW) and nanocrystalline and ultrafine grained tungsten (NCW)) …

The accumulation of defects and in particular He bubbles, can have significant implications
for the performance of materials exposed to the plasma in magnetic-confinement nuclear …

We have investigated the effects of helium ion irradiation energy and sample temperature on
the performance of grain boundaries as helium sinks in ultrafine grained and nanocrystalline …

Nanocrystalline metals are considered highly radiation-resistant materials due to their large
grain boundary areas. Here, the existence of a grain size threshold for enhanced irradiation …

Nanocrystalline metals are often postulated as irradiation tolerant materials due to higher
grain boundary densities. The efficiency of these materials in mitigating irradiation damage …

This work discusses the response of ultrafine-grained tungsten materials to high-flux, high-
fluence, low energy pure He irradiation. Ultrafine-grained tungsten samples were exposed …

The formation of helium cavities in coarse-grained materials produces hardening
proportional to the number density and size of the cavities and due to the interaction of …

Elucidating the synergistic effects of different energetic beams on the radiation response of
nuclear materials is critical for develo** an improved methodology for their evaluation …
