Sažetak
Although neon has been considered for impurity seeding in the ITER tungsten divertor, there have been few studies on its effects on deuterium retention in tungsten. We investigate the effects of simultaneous (SIM) D-2.5% Ne ion beam irradiation on D retention in recrystallized W at 300-700K, with 500eV/D+ and 1keV/Ne+ ion energies, and compare to the effects of SIM D-3% He irradiation with 500eV/He+. Thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) up to 1473K, nuclear reaction analysis (NRA), and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) are used to measure D, He, and Ne in the specimens. Ne is more effective than He at reducing D retention for higher exposure temperatures, even though less Ne is retained than He. He appears to modify the D TDS spectra peak shapes more than Ne, while He addition leads to increased D trapping within a few μm depth according to NRA. D retention may be reduced due to Ne sputtering, as well as a near surface interaction with Ne which blocks D diffusion past the implantation range and leads to higher surface re-emission.
