University, Mito, Ibaraki 310-8512, JapanThe retention of
radioactive tritium in the reactor wall is a safety issue
and should be kept to a minimum. We investigated the
influence of helium, argon, neon and nitrogen as plasma
impurities on the deuterium retention in tungsten in the
linear plasma devices PSI-2 and PISCES-A. Following mixed
plasmas were produced: pure D, D+He, D+Ar, D+Ne, D+N and
D+He+Ar, with impurity fractions between $3\%$ and $10\%.$
The exposure conditions were as follows: incident ion flux
of ~1021 to 1022 m-2s-1, incident ion fluence of 1×1025 to
11026 m-2, sample temperatures of 500 and 770 K. The
incident ion energy was 70 eV, above the tungsten sputtering
threshold for argon and nitrogen, but below it for deuterium
and helium. For neon, in addition, it was varied between 20
and 70 eV, below and above the tungsten sputtering
threshold, respectively. The admixture of helium reduced the
deuterium retention by a factor of 3-100, with a stronger
reduction of a higher sample temperature. In the D+He+Ar
case the retention was similar as for pure D. Argon
sputtered the near-surface helium nanobubble layer and thus
overrode the effect of helium. The effect of neon is
sensitive to the incident ion energy. Addition of nitrogen
increased the deuterium retention by a factor of ~10 and
~100 for 500 and 770 K, respectively. In general, the effect
of impurities on the deuterium retention appears to be
sensitive to the properties of the affected near-surface
layer of tungsten. Admixed species, i.e. helium, can form a
layer with open porosity, which serves as an additional
release channel for deuterium thus decreasing the retention.
However, if the process is dominated by sputtering, as for
argon, such a layer cannot be formed. The nitrogen enriched
layer, in contrast, serves as a desorption barrier for
deuterium increasing the retention.},
