Abstract

We have investigated the influence of low energy helium and hydrogen/deuterium plasma irradiation to tungsten or tungsten coated graphite samples. The experimental conditions of helium hole/bubble formation and hydrogen blister formation were summarized. The tungsten coated graphite exposed to a helium plasma shows different surface modification from those of bulk tungsten. We also demonstrated a transient heat load onto a damaged tungsten surface due to a helium plasma exposure by a laser-beam irradiation. Simultaneous helium plasma and laser pulse irradiations lead to a further roughing of the tungsten surface.
