A STUDY OF BEHAVIOR OF INERT GASES IN SOME CANDIDATE MATERIALS FOR FUSION REACTORS

摘要

This paper gives a review of our study of inert gases (helium, argon) in several materials candidate to future fusion reactors. The study is focused on the agglomeration of gas atoms and formation of nanoscale cavities in several materials including stainless steels and silicon carbide under irradiation with ions with energy ranging from 10 keV to 100 MeV.
