abstract = {In this paper, we report on the temperature dependent
surface modifications in molybdenum (Mo) samples due to 100
eV He+ ion irradiation in extreme conditions as a potential
candidate to plasma-facing components in fusion devices
alternative to tungsten. The Mo samples were irradiated at
normal incidence, using an ion fluence of 2.6 × 1024 ions
m−2 (with a flux of 7.2 × 1020 ions m−2 s−1). Surface
modifications have been studied using high-resolution field
emission scanning electron-(SEM) and atomic force (AFM)
microscopy. At 773 K target temperature homogeneous
evolution of molybdenum nanograins on the entire Mo surface
were observed. However, at 823 K target temperature
appearance of nano-pores and pin-holes nearby the grain
boundaries, and Mo fuzz in patches were observed. The fuzz
density increases significantly with target temperatures and
continued until 973 K. However, at target temperatures
beyond 973 K, counterintuitively, a sequential reduction in
the fuzz density has been seen till 1073 K temperatures. At
1173 K and above temperatures, only molybdenum nano
structures were observed. Our temperature dependent studies
confirm a clear temperature widow, 823–1073 K, for Mo fuzz
formation. Ex-situ high resolution X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy studies on Mo fuzzy samples show the evidence
of MoO3 3d doublets. This elucidates that almost all the Mo
fuzz were oxidized during open air exposure and are thick
enough as well. Likewise the microscopy studies, the optical
reflectivity measurements also show a sequential reduction
in the reflectivity values (i.e., enhancement in the fuzz
density) up to 973 K and after then a sequential enhancement
in the reflectivity values (i.e., reduction in the fuzz
density) with target temperatures. This is in well agreement
with microscopy studies where we observed clear temperature
window for Mo fuzz growth.},
