Abstract

Deuterium (D) retention in tungsten-chromium-yttrium (W–Cr–Y) alloy depending on the irradiation fluence of 1019–5 × 1021 D/m2 at various sample temperatures in the range of 300–900 K was investigated using in-situ thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The irradiation was carried out using 2 keV D3+ ions (670eV/D). An increased D retention compared to that of pure polycrystalline W and additional high-temperature peaks were observed in TDS. The de-trapping energy of 2.21 ± 0.05 eV for these traps was determined by the Kissinger method using the series of experiment with different heating rates. The total D retention dropped down at elevated irradiation temperatures and was rather small at 900 K, but has a local maximum at about 700 K.
