Laser-Induced Desorption of co-deposited Deuterium in Beryllium Layers on Tungsten
For the development of the tritium monitoring system in ITER the hydrogen isotope release by Laser-Induced Desorption (LID) from Be layers is studied to determine the laser parameters for a high desorption efficiency while minimising dust production and surface modifications is also pursued. Be layers of 1 µm thickness with 25–30 at% D and 3 × 1022 D/m2 comparable to JET-ILW areal concentrations [1] have been produced by High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) on ITER grade W. Laser pulses of 1, 5 and 10 ms duration heat the layer in vacuum in the Fuel REtention DIagnostic Setup (FREDIS) and release the retained D thermally. By mass spectrometry in FREDIS and subsequent Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) inside the laser spot the desorbed and remaining D is quantified. While a pulse duration of 1 ms cannot fully desorb the deuterium, it is found that a single 5 or 10 ms laser pulse with an absorbed energy density of ca. 1.5 MJ/m2 corresponding to a heat flux factor around 20 MW√s/m2 leads to nearly complete desorption of the retained D. This encourages the development of a useful tritium monitoring system, although the present layers produce some dust due to local delamination of the layer on at least 11% of the heated surface (at 1.4 MJ/m2 absorbed energy within 5 ms) and lead to unavoidable crack formation.
