abstract = {Tungsten (W) will be used as material for plasma-facing
components (PFCs) in the divertor of ITER and interact with
Helium (He) ions either from initial He plasma operation or
from Deuterium-Tritium (DT) fusion reactions in the active
operation phase. Laboratory experiments reported that in a
specific operational window of impact energy, ion fluence,
and surface temperature (Ein ≥ 20 eV, ϕ ≥ 1 × 1024 Hem
Tsurf ≥ 1000 K) a modification of W surfaces occurs
resulting in the formation of He-induced W nanostructures.
Experiments in ASDEX Upgrade H-mode plasmas ( T, MA, Paux
≃ 8.0 MW) in He have been carried out to investigate in
detail (a) the potential growth of W nanostructures on
pre-damaged W samples incorporating He nanobubbles, and (b)
the potential ELM-induced erosion of W nanostructure. Both W
surface modifications were generated artificially in the
GLADIS facility by He bombardment of W samples at keV (a) to
ϕ ≃ 0.75 × 1024 He0m at Tsurf ≃ 1800 K and (b) ϕ ≃
1 × 1024 He0m at Tsurf ≃ 2300 K prior to exposure in the
divertor manipulator of ASDEX Upgrade. Though in part (a)
conditions of W nanostructure growth with a total He ion
fluence of ϕ ≃ 1.6 × 1024 Hem and peak He ion impact
energies above 150 eV were met, no growth could be detected.
In part (b) lower density plasmas with more pronounced type
I ELMs, carrying energetic He ions in the keV range, were
executed with the strike-line positioned on 2 µm thick W
nanostructure accumulating a fluence of ϕ ≃ 0.8 × 1024
Hem. Post-mortem analysis revealed that co-deposition by
predominantly W, and Boron (B), eroded at the main chamber
wall and transported into the divertor, took place on all W
samples. Erosion of W nanostructure or its formation was
hindered by the fact that the outer divertor at the location
of the samples was turned under these He plasma conditions
into a net deposition zone by W, B and Carbon (C) ions. The
surface morphology with large roughness and effective
surface area act as a catcher for the impinging impurities.
Thus, apart from operation in the existence diagram of W
nanostructure with respect to Tsurf, ϕ, and Ein, also the
impinging impurity flux contribution needs to be considered
in predictions concerning the formation of W
nanostructures.},
