Scientists Throw Light on the Migration of Impurity Atoms in Tungsten Material

One segment—that is, the plasma facing material—of the vacuum vessel in the fusion experimental device and prospective fusion reactor comes into contact with plasma. Upon entry of the plasma ions into the material, namely, tungsten, those particles are modified into neutral atom and remain inside the material.
