Abstract

W samples were exposed to He plasma in the MAGPIE, NAGDIS-II and PISCES-A across a range of sample temperatures between 473–1123 K. GISAXS was used to quantify the effect of plasma fluence and W surface temperature on He nano-bubble size distributions. In NAGDIS-II at 873 K nano-bubbles are exponentially distributed with mean diameters μ=0.64±0.01nm, similar to the value of μ=0.62±0.01nmfound for the MAGPIE plasma device at the much lower temperature of 473 K. Above ∼900 K nano-bubbles followed an approximately exponential distribution with μ > 0.72 nm demonstrating a significant increase in nano-bubble sizes at higher temperatures.
