Abstract

To understand the fundamental processes of deuterium retention and desorption of irradiated plasma facing materials, thermal desorption of deuterium in pure W with and without ion irradiation up to 2 dpa by 2.4 MeV Cu2+ have been investigated. After the ion irradiation at room temperature, high density of small interstitial typed dislocation loops and also nano-voids due to cascade collisions were detected by TEM observation. Thermal desorption of spectra of D showed that fine vacancy clusters are formed even at low fluence and at room temperature irradiation, these defects act as the strong trapping center of deuterium in the temperature range of 660-900 K.
