Ion implantation and TDS D retention in W has been studied in ion beam experiments: monoenergetic ion beam E = 200 eV D+ to 3 keV D+ T = 300 K to 600 K D inventory in W increases as a square root of fluence at RT => diffusion-limited trapping. Most of D are trapped in the bulk at high fluences. Ogorodnikova O.V., Roth J., Mayer M., J. Nucl. Mater. 313-316 (2003) 469-477
Ion implantation and TDS TDS shows two peaks. Both peaks grow with fluence. Second peak (high-temperature) grows faster.
Ion implantation and TDS Pre-implantation with intermediate TDS increases the second peak.

Modelling of D retention in PCW Ion-induced traps distributes near the surface and natural traps distributes along whole W thickness
Modelling of D retention in PCW • Which kinds of ion-induced defects of 1.45 eV can be produced by low energy ions? => • - 200 eV cannot produce vacancies (Eth=860 eV) • - D self-aggregation in clusters due to stress field created by implanted deuterium
Modelling of D retention in PCW • Why D agglomerates in clusters only near the implantation surface? => • Because of stress field induced by ion implantation
D agglomeration in clusters and bubble growth => => Tension and stress=> Displacement of W atom=> Di-vacancy=> Bubble growth D traps by vacancy Several D trap by vacancy Tension and stress=> Dislocation (loop punching?) • Conditions for bubble formation: • Saturation in D concentration • Saturation in vacancies
Temperature effect An increase of the temperature results in a decrease of D retention for recrystallized ´virgin´ PCW At 400 K D retention increases with fluence faster than at RT
Temperature effect D retention decreases with temperature for ´virgin´ W An increase of the temperature results in a decrease of D retention for recrystallized ´virgin´ PCW Model describes well temperature dependence.
Temperature effect D retention decreases with temperature for ´virgin´ W. Most of D are in the bulk. An increase of the temperature results in a decrease of D retention for recrystallized ´virgin´ PCW Model describes well temperature dependence.
Implantation energy effect Lower D retention for 3 keV than for 200 eV at high fluences
Implantation energy effect Increase of the stress field => increase of the diffusion coefficient
Implantation energy effect Increase of the stress field => increase of the diffusion coefficient
Implantation energy effect Calculated depth profiles Increase of the stress field => increase of the diffusion coefficient
Conclusions • D retains in W in ion-induced defects and natural defects • An increase of ion energy (or/and ion flux) results in an increase of the stress field in the implantation region. As a result the diffusion coefficient near the implantation region increases. • Both no recrystallization and intermediate TDS (annealing up to 1200 K) increase the rate of defect production Ion-induced defects are produced during implantation by deuterium self-aggregation due to the stress field induced by the incident ion flux The rate of ion-induced defect production depends on the energy of the incident ions, ion flux, sample temperature and initial trap concentration
Implantation energy effect Increase of the stress field => increase of the diffusion coefficient
Implantation history effect D retention decreases with temperature for ´virgin´ W. D retention has a maximum for re-used W. An increase of the temperature results in a decrease of D retention for recrystallized ´virgin´ PCW Model describes well temperature dependence.
Implantation history effect Recrystallized W As-received W after multiple implantation D retention in the second peak decreases with temperature for recrystallized W D retention in the second peak increases with temperature for re-used W
Implantation history effect Intermediate TDS increases the amount of initial high-temperature traps Calculations using the higher rate of defect production are in a good agreement with experiments. An increase of the temperature results in a decrease of D retention for recrystallized ´virgin´ PCW Model describes well temperature dependence.
