Temperature-dependent in-situ LEIS measurement of W surface enrichment by 250 eV D sputtering of EUROFER

Tungsten surface enrichment of EUROFER steel by 250 eV deuterium sputtering is in-situ measured using low energy He+ ion scattering spectroscopy. The samples are irradiated at various temperatures between 300 K and 800 K with a deuterium atom flux of 2 × 1018 m−2 s−1 and maximum fluence up to 1.1 × ...
