Morgan}, title = {Surface damage of W exposed to combined stationary D plasma and ELMs-like pulsed plasma}, abstract = {The surface damage of W under D plasma and ELMs-like transient heat loads was studied by combined stationary and pulsed D plasma. Low-flux transient heat loads will promote blister formation due to the gas expansion inside the blisters. On the contrary, high-flux transient heat loads will mitigate blistering due to the high surface temperature. Therefore, blistering on W surface first increased and then decreased with the increasing transient heat loads. The promotion effect of pulsed plasma on blistering is more obvious on [001] and [110] surfaces than on [111] surface, and the orientation dependence of blisters was mitigated by the transient heat loads. Surface modification induced by transient heat loads only formed on [001] and [110] surfaces, but did not form on [111] surface. The orientation dependence of surface modification was mainly due to the slipping system of dislocations. }, year = {2017}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Materials}, volume = {487}, pages = {68-74}, month = {04/2017}, doi = {10.1016/j.jnucmat.2017.01.044}, language = {eng}, }
