Physical Processes of the Interaction of Fusion Plasmas with Solids

This volume looks at the problems associated with plasma-surface interactions in fusion devices. Aimed at the specialized international fusion community, it covers developments occurring with the advent of the larger fusion plasma devices that have demonstrated near break-even energy. Topics covered include: the edge plasma; physical sputtering and radiation-enhanced sublimation; chemical erosion; electron emission from solids; control of plasma-surface interactions by thin films; thermal stability; radiation damage in metallic structural materials; radiation damage in carbon materials.
