The performance of fusion devices and of a future fusion power plant
critically depends on the materials and components selected for the
first wall facing the plasma. Resistance to local heat and particle
loads, thermomechanical properties, as well as the response to neutron
damage of the selected materials are critical parameters which need to
be understood and tailored from atomistic to component levels. The 13th
International Workshop on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for
Fusion Applications addresses these issues and co-organises the event
together with the 1st International Conference on Fusion Materials
Science, focusing on advanced materials science and characterisation.
Among the topics of the joint conference recent developments and research results in the following fields are addressed:
- carbon, beryllium, and tungsten based materials
- mixed materials
- erosion and redeposition
- high heat flux component development
- benchmarking of radiation damage modelling
- synchrotron and neutron based characterization techniques
- application of advanced TEM and micro-/nano-mechanical testing
Selected international speakers will present overview lectures and treat detailed aspects of the given topics. Contributed papers to the subjects of the workshop are solicited for oral and poster presentations.
