Abstract

Abstract Erosion, deposition, D retention and the effect of Li on these were investigated for the SiC/C tiles exposed to EAST plasmas during the 2010 Autumn campaign by means of SEM, XPS, RBS, NRA and TDS. The erosion was quite location sensitive and less on the upper middle surface of a tile on outer target of upper divertor (OT1) than on other tiles. Li coating was highly non-uniform and the most Li deposited on tile HF4 which is at the center column near a Li oven. Higher D retention was observed near the strike point (SP) on the outer target and on the tiles far away from the Li ovens, as well as in the specially designed reference holes.
