Discovering tungsten-based composites as plasma facing materials for future high-duty cycle nuclear fusion reactors

Abstract Despite of excellent thermal properties and high sputtering resistance, pure tungsten cannot fully satisfy the requirements for plasma facing materials in future high-duty cycle nuclear fusion reactions due to the coupled extreme environments, including the high thermal loads, plasma exposu...
