Abstract
Deuterium retention in tungsten damaged by 2–20MeVW ions and then exposed to D atoms was investigated by means of thermal desorption spectroscopy. Experimental data demonstrate a significant increase of deuterium retention in the presence of radiation defects. A remarkable amount of deuterium is trapped even at the temperature of 800K. TDS spectra were simulated using the computer code DIFTRAP based on kinetic rate equations to derive parameters of deuterium interaction with radiation defects. It was shown that irradiation by MeVW ions forms in W a high concentration of strong traps with the detrapping energy of 1.7–2eV. These traps play major role in the D retention at elevated temperatures. The experimental spectra have peculiarities that are not described by the standard modeling; and the reasons for that are discussed.
