Quantification of Chemical Erosion in the Divertor of the DIII-D Tokamak

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is currently designed to use graphite targets in the divertor for power handling and impurity control. Understanding and quantifying chemical sputtering is therefore key to the success of fusion as a clean energy source. The principal goal...
