Influence of thin tungsten oxide films on hydrogen isotope uptake and retention in tungsten – Evidence for permeation barrier effect

We studied the uptake of deuterium (D) into tungsten (W) through thin films of W oxide. Two surface oxide films with thicknesses of 33 and 55 nm were thermally grown on W substrates. In the following, the oxidized samples were exposed to low-energy D (5 eV/D) from a D plasma at a sample temperature...
