abstract = {Plasma-facing materials (PFMs) in the ITER divertor will be
exposed to severe conditions, including exposure to
transient heat loads from edge-localized modes (ELMs) and to
plasma particles and neutrons. Tungsten is the material
chosen as PFM for the ITER divertor. In previous tests,
bubble formation in ITER-grade tungsten was detected when
exposed to fusion relevant conditions. For this study,
ITER-grade tungsten was exposed to simultaneous ELM-like
transient heat loads and D/He $(6\%)$ plasma in the linear
plasma device PSI-2. Bubble formation was then investigated
via SEM micrographs and FIB cuts. It was found that for
exposure to 100.000 laser pulses of 0.6 GWm−2 absorbed
power density (Pabs), only small bubbles in the nanometer
range were formed close to the surface. After increasing
Pabs to 0.8 and 1.0 GWm−2, the size of the bubbles went up
to about 1 µm in size and were deeper below the surface.
Increasing the plasma fluence had an even larger effect,
more than doubling bubble density and increasing bubble size
to up to 2 µm in diameter. When using deuterium-only
plasma, the samples showed no bubble formation and reduced
cracking, showing such bubble formation is caused by
exposure to helium plasma.},
