DIONISOS = Dynamics of ION Implantation and Sputtering Of Surfaces
• Simultaneous ion beam irradiation and plasma exposure of target.
• Real-time, in-situ measurement of D concentrations using 3He(d,p) NRA.
• Helicon source yields high flux (~1021 D/m2s), low temperature (Te ~ 5 eV) plasmas
• Target can be biased to 500 V and heated to ~750 K.

Trapped deuterium depth profiles measured in-situ emphasize the importance of diffusion
Trapped D profiles are highly sensitive to Mo temperature:
• low TMo diffusion limited
• high TMo flat profile, trap limited

D retention in Mo after exposure to 3.5 MeV 3He beam and D plasma in DIONISOS
No dependence on incident ion energy.
Indications that retention for 600-700 K extends much deeper than 5 mm. Implies total retention is lowest at 300K.

For these conditions, displacements due to the 3He irradiation account for ~85 % of the total trapped D.

Trap density increases non-linearly with 3He ion fluence (and displacements)
Non-linearity indicates an approach to a saturation level but also a large increase in trap density after only a small amount of 3He fluence.

How does surface trap production scale?
Vacancy clustering and void/blister formation
W atom is displaced anda vacancy is formed.
What experimental factors influence strength and formation of stress fields?
• Plasma flux density – sets rate of implantation (source)
• Hydrogenic solubility – sets saturation limit (boundary condition)
• Diffusion/surface recombination – rate-limiting process removes D from implantation zone (sink).

Repeated and rapid thermal cycling drives the trapped D into the bulk. Simulation results in linear increase in retention with fluence.
High hydrogenic diffusion rates in Mo and assumption of mobile trap sites are key to this mechanism.

What are the issues and how do we solve them?
• Bulk displacements and high flux, low energy plasma exposure can both create trap sites in high-Z refractory metals.
• High H diffusion and trap production in the bulk means retention is higher at moderately elevated target temperatures (400-600 K).
• High H diffusion and mobile traps indicate retention deep in the bulk occurs with repeated thermal cycling (T removal concerns).
What are the solutions?
• High ambient surface temperature (hot walls) mitigates plasma-driven trap production and anneals irradiation-produced traps (Oliver et al. J. Nucl. Mater. 329-333 (2004) 977).
• Control access of implanted hydrogen to the bulk (diffusion barriers). Diffusion-limited regime has lowest retention.

Summary & Conclusions
• The DIONISOS experiment has yielded new insights into hydrogenic retention properties of high-Z materials in an irradiating environment.
• Irradiation of Mo with MeV ions produces bulk displacements that lead to significant trap concentrations throughout the irradiating ion range.
• Exposure of Mo to a high flux of low energy plasma ions can create trap sites extending much deeper than rimplant
• High diffusion rates and mobile traps in combination with thermal cycling can lead to retention throughout the bulk of the material and a linear increase in retention with incident fluence.
• Many of the underlying physics driving these mechanisms in Mo can also be applied to W.

Summary & Conclusions
• In future fusion devices, plasma facing components will be exposed to high plasma fluxes and 14 MeV neutron irradiation. The combination could lead to high retention rates even in refractory metals
• Plasma, radiative, and neutron heating activates diffusion. Trap production by n-irradiation means traps will be distributed throughout the bulk. Even small local D/T concentrations could lead to high overall retention.
• Diffusion barriers can limit retention in the bulk.
• Operating with hot walls (900-1000 K) would solve many problems with hydrogenic retention in refractory metals.
