Tungsten is a strong contender for a plasma-facing material in future fusion power plant designs, and the material of choice for the divertor of ITER, due to its high melting point, thermal conductivity, and resistance to sputtering erosion. Sputtering erosion is a major concern for plasma-facing materials because sputtered atoms could enter the pl…

Irradiation of a metal by lasers or swift heavy ions causes the electrons to become excited. In the vicinity of the excitation, an electronic temperature is established within a thermalization time of 10–100 fs, as a result of electron-electron collisions. For short times, corresponding to less than 1 ps after excitation, the resulting electronic…
