Professor J.W. Davis
Fusion Energy Plasma Materials Interactions Laboratory
Research Focus
• Study of plasma-materials interactions with ITER-specific materials: carbon, tungsten and beryllium
• Candidate reactor materials are tested using plasma simulation facilities to study plasma-materials-interaction processes
Current Projects
• Studying (i) materials erosion, (ii) diffusion, trapping, and retention of hydrogen isotopes in carbon, tungsten, and mixed materials, (iii) the recovery of deuterium from layers of D-containing deposits formed in tokamaks
