abstract = {In fusion power plants a tritium permeation barrier is
required in order to prevent the loss of the fuel. Moreover,
the tritium permeation barrier is necessary to avoid that
the radioactive tritium accumulates in the first wall, the
cooling system, and other parts of the power plant. Oxide
thin films, e.g. Al2O3, Er2O3 and Y2O3, are promising
candidates as tritium permeation barrier layers. With regard
to the application, this is especially true for yttrium due
to its favorably short decay time after neutron activation
compared to the other candidates. The Y2O3 layers with
thicknesses from 100 nm to 500 nm are deposited on both
sides of Eurofer substrates by RF magnetron sputter
deposition. Some of the samples are additionally deposited
with palladium thin films to analyse the limited regime.
During the annealing in the experiments the palladium layers
do not show any crack formation or delamination, verified by
scanning electron microscopy. After annealing the cubic
crystal structure of the Y2O3 layers is verified by X-ray
diffraction. The cubic phase contains a small amount of a
monoclinic phase, which is eliminated after the permeation
measurements. The permeation reduction factors of the
samples are determined in gas-driven deuterium permeation
experiments. A permeation reduction of 5000 of the yttria
thin film is verified. The diffusion limited regime is
identified by the pressure dependence of the permeation
measurement and by permeation experiments with the palladium
top layers on the Y2O3 thin films. Furthermore, the
activation energy of the permeation through the yttria thin
films is determined. Pre-annealing times for more than 70 h
of the Y2O3 thin films and permeation measurements with
temperature cycles for 20 days are performed to show the
stability of the permeation flux and hence the
microstructure of the barrier layers. Measurement times at
each constant temperature level of more than 25 h are
required for the stabilization of each permeation flux to a
constant value. The permeation measurement setup is enhanced
to enable a continuously running equipment for these
measurement times.},
