摘要
We analyze a DIII-D tokamak experiment where two tungsten spots on the removable DiMES divertor probe were exposed to 12 s of attached plasma conditions, with moderate strike point temperature and density (similar to 20 eV, similar to 4.5 x 10(19) m(-3)), and 3% carbon impurity content. Both very small (1 mm diameter) and small (I cm diameter) deposited samples were used for assessing gross and net tungsten sputtering erosion. The analysis uses a 3-D erosion/redeposition code package (REDEP/WBC), with input from a diagnostic-calibrated near-surface plasma code (OEDGE), and with focus on charge state resolved impinging carbon ion flux and energy. The tungsten surfaces are primarily sputtered by the carbon, in charge states +1 10 +4. We predict high redeposition (similar to 75%) of sputtered tungsten on the 1 cm spot with consequent reduced net erosion and this agrees well with post-exposure DiMES probe RBS analysis data. This study and recent related work is encouraging for erosion lifetime and non-contamination performance of tokamak reactor high-Z plasma facing components. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
