We simulate effects of irradiation on nanocrystalline tungsten in the athermal high dose limit using the creation-relaxation algorithm, where microstructural evolution is driven not by thermally activated diffusion, but by fluctuating stresses resulting from the production and relaxation of defects. Over the entire interval of radiation exposure sp…

Tungsten samples were heat-treated to achieve partial recrystallization and exposed to high ion flux deuterium plasma at different temperatures and fluences. Continuous stiffness nanoindentation measurements of near-surface hardness were performed in the grains of specific annealing states and of specific crystallographic orientation, determined by…

For tungsten exposed to low-energy hydrogen-plasmas, it has been thought that grains with surface normal are most susceptible to blistering while those with surface normal are virtually impervious to it. Here, we report results showing that non-uniformity of blister distribution depends on the state of the surface due to polishing. In e…
