Scope
The performances of fusion devices and of a future power plant strongly depends on the plasma facing materials and components. Resistance to local heat and particle loads, thermo-mechanical properties, as well as the response to neutron damages of the selected materials are critical parameters which need to be understood and tailored from atomistic to component levels. The 15th International Conference on Plasma-Facing Materials and Components for Fusion Applications addresses these issues.
Selected international speakers will present overview lectures and treat detailed aspects of the given topics. Contributed papers to the subjects of the meeting are solicited for oral and poster presentations.
Topics
Among the topics of the joint conference, recent developments and research results in the following fields are addressed:
-Tungsten and tungsten alloys
-Low-Z materials
-Mixed materials
-Erosion, redeposition and fuel retention
-Materials under extreme thermal loads
-Technology and testing of plasma-facing components
-Neutron effects in plasma-facing materials.
