The maximum of deuterium retention was observed at \~{}630\&$\#$xa0;K for low flux density and at \~{}870\&$\#$xa0;K for high flux density, as indicated from the thermal desorption spectroscopy data (TDS). Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed the presence of blisters with a diameter of up to 1\&$\#$xa0;μm which were formed at high flux density and high temperature (1170\&$\#$xa0;K) contrasting with previously reported surface modification results at such exposure conditions.}, year = {2015}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Materials}, volume = {463}, pages = {320 - 324}, doi = {10.1016/j.jnucmat.2014.12.006}, note = {PLASMA-SURFACE INTERACTIONS 21 Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Plasma-Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices Kanazawa, Japan May 26-30, 2014}, language = {eng}, }
