Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nitrogen addition into remote edge plasmas has been considered and tested as an effective method for suppression of carbon film deposition and reduction of hydrogen isotope absorption in the deposited films. The effects of nitrogen addition on the hydrogenated carbon film deposition and hydrogen isotope absorption, “scavenger effect”, were studied using toroidal rf plasmas with D-C-N reactive species with metal impurities, such as Fe and W. Main results are summarized as follows, (1)In the case of stainless steel materials as an impurity source, simultaneous addition of C and N as scavenger particles works well to reduce the H/D absorption effectively by generating volatile HCN/DCN and NHx/NDx molecular particles, (2)When N is introduced on to tungsten co-deposited films, the amount of H/D absorption increased due to the surface barrier formation on the W films by Tungsten nitride formation on the surface.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

高融点金属材であるタングステンは、ブリスタリングやバブル形成、強い熱衝撃による溶融・クラックの発生等、将来の核融合炉ダイバータ板材料として使用するには問題点も多いのが現状である。核融合炉ダイバータ材料開発研究の大半がタングステン材使用に向けて行われる中で、本研究はLIBS技法を用いて、タングステンを含め多様な不純物を含む低温周辺プラズマ系における不純物共堆積膜中へのトリチウム吸蔵を制御・抑制するスカベンジャー粒子を探索し、水素同位体吸蔵抑制効果をもたらす基礎物理・化学過程を解明することで定常核融合炉開発研究に資するものである。
