Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Post mortem analyses of JET ITER-Like-Wall tiles and passive diagnostics have been completed after each of the first two campaigns (ILW-1 and ILW-2). They show that the global fuel inventory is still dominated by co-deposition; hence plasma parameters and sputtering processes affecting material migration influence the distribution of retained fuel. In particular, differences between results from the two campaigns may be attributed to a greater proportion of pulses run with strike points in the divertor corners, and having about 300 discharges in hydrogen at the end of ILW-2. Recessed and remote areas can contribute to fuel retention due to the larger areas involved, e.g. recessed main chamber walls, gaps in castellated Be main chamber tiles and material migration to remote divertor areas. The fuel retention and material migration due to the bulk W Tile 5 during ILW-1 are presented. Overall these tiles account for only a small percentage of the global accountancy for ILW-1.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A set of Be and W tiles removed after the first ITER-like wall campaigns (JET-ILW) from 2011 to 2012 has been analysed. The results indicate that the primary erosion site is in the main chamber (Be) as in previous carbon campaigns (JET-C). In particular the limiters tiles near the mid-plane are eroded probably during the limiter phases of discharges. W is found at low concentrations on all plasma-facing surfaces of the vessel indicating deposition via plasma transport initially from the W divertor and from main chamber W-coated tiles; there are also traces of Mo (used as an interlayer for these coatings). Deposited films in the inner divertor have a layered structure, and every layer is dominated by Be with some W and O content.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Post-mortem analyses of individual components provide relevant information on plasma-surface interactions like tungsten erosion, beryllium deposition and plasma fuel retention with divertor tiles via implantation or co-deposition. Ion Beam techniques are ideal tools for such purposes and have been extensively used for post-mortem analyses of selected tiles from JET following each campaign. In this contribution results from tiles removed from the JET ITER-Like Wall (JET-ILW) divertor following the 2013-2014 campaign are presented. The results summarize erosion, deposition and fuel retention along the poloidal cross section of the divertor surface and provide data for comparison with the first JET-ILW campaign, showing a similar pattern of material migration with the exception of Tile 6 where the strike point time on the tile was similar to 4 times longer in 2013-2014 than in 2011-2012, which is likely to account for more material migration to this region. The W deposition on top of the Mo marker coating of Tile 4 shows that the enrichment takes place at the strike point location. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

- A build-up of co-deposits in remote areas of the divertor can contribute significantly to the overall fuel retention. The control of plasma-material interactions via the study and understanding of erosion-deposition of PFCs provides vital information for the efficient future operation of ITER. The major aim of this work is to reveal details of beryllium deposition and fuel (deuterium) retention on divertor plasma-facing components removed from the JET ITER-Like Wall divertor after cumulative exposure during the first two (ILW-1+2) and all three (ILW-1+2+3) campaigns. Ion beam analysis techniques such as Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, nuclear reaction analysis and proton induced x-ray emission have been extensively used for post-mortem analyses of selected tiles from JET following each campaign and can provide relevant information on plasma-surface interactions like tungsten erosion, beryllium deposition and plasma fuel retention with divertor tiles via implantation or co-deposition. The studied divertor tiles represent a unique set of samples, which have been exposed to plasmas since the beginning of the JET-ILW operation for three successive plasma campaigns. This is a comprehensive comparison of divertor components after these operation periods. The results presented summarise deposition and fuel retention on Tiles 4 (inner base) and 6 (outer base). Although the deposition pattern is similar to that determined after individual campaigns, D retention is not a cumulative process and is determined mainly by the last campaign, and the total Be deposit after the 3 campaigns (i.e. data 1+2+3=tile exposed 2011-2016) is less than the sum of the deposits after each individual campaign (sum 1+2+3) for Tile 4 but greater for Tile 6.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper reports on the first post-mortem analyses of tiles removed from JET after the first campaigns with the ITER-like wall (ILW) during 2011-12 [1]. Tiles from the divertor have been analysed by ion beam analysis techniques and by secondary ion mass spectrometry to determine the amount of beryllium deposition and deuterium retention in the tiles exposed to the scrape-off layer. Films 10-20 mu m thick were present at the top of tile 1, but only very thin films (<1 mu m) were found in the shadowed areas and on other divertor tiles. The total amount of Be found in the divertor following the ILW campaign was a factor of similar to 9 less than the material deposited in the 2007-09 carbon campaign, after allowing for the longer operations in 2007-09.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High quality Al1xInxN/GaN bilayers, grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), were characterized using structural and optical techniques. Compositional analysis was performed using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry(RBS) and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA). The InN molar fraction x decreased approximately linearly with increasing growth temperature and ranged from x¼0.13 to0.24. Up tox¼0.20 the layers grow pseudomorphically to GaN with good crystalline quality. These layers show a smoothsurface with V-shaped pits. Two layers with InN contents around 24% showed partial strain relaxation. However, themechanisms leading to relaxation of compressive strain arevery different in the two samples grown both at similartemperature but with different growth rates. One sample shows a decreased c/a ratio, as expected for relaxation of the compressive strain, while In was shown to be homogeneouslydistributed with depth. The other sample started to grow withx¼0.24 but relaxed mainly by reduction of the incorporated InN content towards the lattice-match composition of x0.17. Both samples have an increased surface roughness. All samples show strong Al1xInxN band edge luminescence with large bowing parameter and Stokes’ shifts.

Hydrogen in InN: A ubiquitous phenomenon in molecular beam epitaxy grown material

In: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS. - : AIP Publishing. - 0003-6951 .- 1077-3118. ; 96:8, s. 081907-

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We study the unintentional H impurities in relation to the free electron properties of state-of-the-art InN films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Enhanced concentrations of H are revealed in the near surface regions of the films, indicating postgrowth surface contamination by H. The near surface hydrogen could not be removed upon thermal annealing and may have significant implications for the surface and bulk free electron properties of InN. The bulk free electron concentrations were found to scale with the bulk H concentrations while no distinct correlation with dislocation density could be inferred, indicating a major role of hydrogen for the unintentional conductivity in MBE InN.

Fuel retention in JET ITER-Like Wall from post-mortem analysis
- 2015

In: Journal of Nuclear Materials. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-3115 .- 1873-4820. ; 463, s. 961-965

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Selected Ion Beam Analysis techniques applicable for detecting deuterium and heavier impurities have been used in the post-mortem analyses of tiles removed after the first JET ITER-Like Wall (JET-ILW) campaign. Over half of the retained fuel was measured in the divertor region. The highest figures for fuel retention were obtained from regions with the thickest deposited layers, i.e. in the inner divertor on top of tile 1 and on the High Field Gap Closure tile, which resides deep in the plasma scrape-off layer. Least retention was found in the main chamber high erosion regions, i.e. in the mid-plane of Inner Wall Guard Limiter. The fuel retention values found typically varied with deposition layer thicknesses. The reported retention values support the observed decrease in fuel retention obtained with gas balance experiments of JET-ILW.

Long-term fuel retention in JET ITER-like wall
- 2016
-
In: Physica Scripta. - : Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP). - 0031-8949 .- 1402-4896. ; T167
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Post-mortem studies with ion beam analysis, thermal desorption, and secondary ion mass spectrometry have been applied for investigating the long-term fuel retention in the JET ITERlike wall components. The retention takes place via implantation and co-deposition, and the highest retention values were found to correlate with the thickness of the deposited impurity layers. From the total amount of retained D fuel over half was detected in the divertor region. The majority of the retained D is on the top surface of the inner divertor, whereas the least retention was measured in the main chamber on the mid-plane of the inner wall limiter. The recessed areas of the inner wall showed significant contribution to the main chamber total retention. Thermal desorption spectroscopy analysis revealed the energetic T from DD reactions being implanted in the divertor. The total T inventory was assessed to be >0.3 mg.
