Abstract
0.8 MeV and 6 MeV iron (Fe) ions were implanted into tungsten (W) to produce the irradiation damages with the various damage distributions. Thereafter, 1.0 keV deuterium ion (D2+) implantation was performed to evaluate the D retention behavior on damage distribution in W. The experimental results showed that the total D retentions were decreased by increasing the damage concentration introduced near the surface region by 0.8 MeV Fe ion implantation. The retention of D trapped by vacancy clusters and voids, which would be the stable trapping sites with higher trapping energies, were reduced, suggesting that the recombination of D atom into D2 on the W surface was enhanced due to D accumulation near the surface region. It can be said that the hydrogen retention behavior in PFMs will be controlled by the damage distribution near the surface.
