Abstract

The up-take behavior of hydrogen and deuterium was studied for the surface layer of Mo single crystals irradiated by 10 keV He ions with a high dose, at which the blisters and exfoliation were formed on the surface. Hydrogen accumulation was found in the H saturated layer up to a maximum concentration of about 0.2 H/Mo at room temperature. Although the up-taken H concentration profiles and the morphological changes of the irradiated surface depended on irradiation temperatures, thermal release behavior of up-taken H were similar for both specimens irradiated at 295 and 820 K. The higher pressure of H2 and/or H2O caused the quicker accumulation of H, and the hydrogen dissociation seemed to be sensitive to the surface contamination. The up-take rate for H was an order of magnitude larger than that for D, even by letting mainly D2 and/or D2O into the vacuum chamber.
