  • Deuterium Retention Properties of Co-Deposited Carbon Films Produced at Wall Gaps

    English, Deuterium retention properties in co-deposited carbon film produced in gap and the relationship between this retention behavior and the crystal structure of carbon film were investigated. In the case of a wide gap, the atomic ratio of deuterium to carbon (D/C) in the film was almost constant at any depth in the gap, while in the case of a narrow gap the D/C ratio decreased with increasing distance from the gap entrance. The micro structure of carbon film tended to be more amorphous for the film produced at locations deeper in the gap. Thermal desorption spectra of D2 in the film produced near the gap entrance showed one broad main peak at around 1100 K, while that in the film produced near the bottom showed very sharp peaks at around 950 K. This difference in desorption behavior was related with the differences of micro structure.
  • Evaluation of Plasma-Wall Interactions Using Material Probes in the Large Helical Device

    English, Control of plasma-wall interactions (PWIs) and understanding their mechanism are essential issues for realization of fusion reactor. In this study, plasma-wall interactions during FY2010 and FY2011 experiments in the Large Helical Device (LHD) were analyzed by using material probes. We installed material probes at the positions expected to have different deposits of materials such as boron and titanium and investigated the correlation between this impurity deposition and gas retention. The desorption behavior of hydrogen and helium depended on the level of impurity deposition. We observed a new peak for hydrogen desorption at the probe with large boron deposits. The amount of retained hydrogen was large in that probe; however the amount of retained helium was small in the same probe, which is opposite what we observe in the probe with titanium deposits and the probe with a thin deposition layer.
  • Deuterium Retention in Tungsten-Coated Reduced Activation Ferritic/Martensitic Steel

    English, In order to evaluate tungsten (W) coating performance, thin W film was deposited onto reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steel (F82H) by using rf magnetron sputtering device, then was irradiated at room temperature by 1.7keV D+ ions. After the irradiation, the deuterium retention of the coated sample (W/F82H) was evaluated by thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) and compared with those of the F82H and pure W. During TDS measurements, D2 was desorbed in all materials but HD was only found in significant amount in W/F82H and related to the increase of effective surface area due to the porous film structure. D retention increased with increasing fluence and was accompanied by growth of circular blisters. The size of blisters was limited by the F82H substrate structure.

    English, Two sets of material probes were installed in LHD in the vicinity of the Local Island Divertor (LID) head made of carbon fiber composite. One set of the material probes faced the LID head, while the other set was placed in a shallow line of sight to the head. Carbon films on the former and the later sets of probes are expected to be formed by the deposition of physically sputtered carbon atoms and chemically sputtered hydrocarbon, respectively, during the LID discharges. Surface morphology and thickness of the films, and the amount of retained hydrogen in the films were investigated, and hydrogen concentration in the probes was estimated. The hydrogen concentration in the carbon films on the probes placed in a shallow line of sight of the head was significantly large with the atomic ratio of H/C = 0.6-1.1.

    水素の利用が広まる中で,水素容器からの水素の漏れ(透過)を防ぐ水素ガスバリア機能の重要性が高まっている。既存技術として水素透過の小さな薄膜を容器にコーティングする方法が主流になっているが,これにはクラックや剥離などの潜在的な弱点が存在する。本研究では,炭素や窒素などの不純物を表層に添加(ドープ)することにより水素の透過を抑制する新しい水素ガスバリア機能強化法の確立を目標としている。具体的な内容として,ガスバリア機能が最も向上するドープ条件と透過が抑制されるメカニズムの解明を目指す。本手法はコーティングとは違い金属表面そのもののガスバリア機能を向上させるためクラックや剥離などの問題を克服でき,コーティングができないような金属にも応用できると考えられる。
    初年度はまず,レーザードーピングしたステンレス鋼表面の水素吸収特性を調べた。エタノール中にステンレス鋼試料を浸した状態でレーザー照射することにより炭素や酸素をドープした後,三重水素ガスに高温で曝露し,ドープ層の三重水素吸収量をイメージングプレート法で評価した。三重水素の検出深さは表面近傍に限られるため,ドープ層の水素吸収特性を調べるのに適している。レーザーフルエンスを0.2-1.4J/cm2で変化させた場合,0.5J/cm2の場合にもっとも三重水素吸収量が少なくなった。また,1.4J/cm2の場合はドープしていない場合とほとんど変わらず,またレーザー照射面がかなり損耗されていることがわかった。0.5J/cm2のフルエンスで照射時間を変化させたところ,照射時間が長くなるにつれてドープ効果が小さくなる傾向がみられた。これらから,ドープ層の水素吸収を低減させるレーザー照射条件をほぼ明らかにすることができた。

  • Control of vacancy concentration and hydrogen isotope retention in neutron-irradiated tungsten alloys for fusion applications

    Future fusion reactors will use deuterium (D) and tritium (T) as fuel and tungsten (W) as a wall material of reactor core. Due to their small sizes, D and T atoms are dissolved into W crystal easily. During reactor operation, W will be irradiated with high energy neutrons produced by fusion reactions, and fine cavities (vacancy and vacancy clusters) are generated in W crystal. These cavities strongly trap D and T atoms and raise T retention in W markedly. Such retention of a large amount of T increases a risk of uncontrolled T release to the environment under accidental conditions. In this study, we systematically investigated irradiation responses of W-Re, -Cr, -Ta and -Mo binary alloys. We found that Re and Cr strongly enhance the annihilation of cavities under irradiation and reduce hydrogen isotope retention in orders of magnitude. The mechanisms underlying such enhanced cavity annihilation was clarified with help of first principle calculation results in literatures.

  • Reduction of hydrogen permeation using irradiation defects prodeced by helium ionirradiation

    Hydrogen isotopes can easily penetrate metal, which leads to leakage ofhydrogen from hydrogen container. Therefore, it is important to develop a method to prevent hydrogen permeation. In the present study, the effects of irradiation defects created by helium ion irradiation on suppression of hydrogen permeation in stainless steel were investigated. As the temperature of stainless steel during helium ion irradiation increased, larger helium bubbles were observed just beneath the surface and hydrogen permeation was reduced. These results suggest that hydrogen permeation was suppressed due to the compression field created by high-pressure helium bubbles.
