Materials and Plasma Facing Components for Thermonuclear Fusion Applications

Barn

A unit of area used in physics to express cross-sectional areas (1 b = 10,^–,24, cm²)

Plasma-facing component

Components that interface with the plasma, ensuring heat removal while being compatible with the generation of high-performance fusion plasma

Design of plasma-facing components;

In this article, the concepts of plasma-facing components are "inertial," "semi-inertial," and actively cooled.

Divertor; divertor

A component that absorbs most of the heat and particle flux from the plasma.

Dpa

Displacement per atom

Component Geometry in Plasma Environments

In this article, the two geometries of the plasma-facing components are the flat-tile geometry and the monoblock geometry.
