abstract = {The sputtering behavior of a copper based alloy containing
17 $at-\%$ of lithium has been studied under fusion relevant
ion bombardment by D+, He', Ne+, and Ar+ with energies
between 0.1 keV and 6 keV and flux densities of up to 10'6
particles/cm2s. The main question was, whether surface
segregation of the lithium component can balance the losses
due to sputtering and evaporation, and whether this way a
protective lithium surface layer can be maintained under
high particle flux irradiation. To investigate
time-dependent sputtering phenomena, laser-induced
fluorescence spectroscopy (LIF) has been employed to detect
atoms emitted from the multicomponent material . With LIF,
velocity distributions and absolute densities of Cu and Li
have been measured, offering the possibility to calculate
absolute partial sputtering yields. At room temperature, the
alloy target showed almost no reduction of the Cu sputtering
yield under Argon bombardment, compared to pure copper.
Under light ion irradiation by D+ and He" reduction factors
of up to two have been observed. The surface composition was
deduced from measured velocity distributions of the two
constituents by assuming a Thompson-distribution and fitting
the resp. surface binding energies, as well as from the
reduction factor of the Cu sputtering. Under
Ar+-irradiation, the surface showed the same composition as
the bulk, while under bombardment by lighter ions the
lithium concentration increased to a maximum of about 50
$at-\%$ (D+) in the outmost atomic layer. A sufficient
protective lithium surface layer could be achieved at
elevated temperatures above 400°C by heating up the sample
for about two hours without ion irradiation. After a
subsequent deposition of roughly 10'9 Ar+/cm2 of 6 keV
energy, the thickness of the built-up layer has decreased
considerably. Losses of lithium atoms due to high-flux
sputtering dominate segregation also at elevated
temperatures, although the ion dose being necessary to
decrease the lithium surface content to its original value
has risen by about four orders of magnitude with respect to
room temperature. The use of the present Cu/Li-material
therefore seems useless in a continuously operating fusion
reactor. The alloy can only maintain a protective lithium
surface layer at elevated temperatures in a pulsed reactor
concept, if the plasma is operated with a limited
duty-cycle. Moreover, a relatively high rate of lithium
evaporation was measured at temperatures above 400°C, which
furthermore limits the application of Cu/Li-alloys in fusion
devices.},
