Abstract

The Dual-beam ion irradiation facility for Fusion materials (DiFU) has been developed and installed at the Ru ¯der Boškovi´c Institute with the purpose to perform irradiation of samples of fusion materials by one or two ion beams. Ion beams are delivered to the DiFU chamber by a 6 MV EN Tandem Van de Graaff and a 1 MV HVE Tandetron accelerator, enabling irradiation of areas up to 30 × 30 mm2. The sample holder enables the three-dimensional positioning of samples that can be irradiated while being heated, cooled, or kept at room temperature. Ion fluxes are measured indirectly by the insertion of two large Faraday cups. Besides, the ion flux is monitored continuously by two sets of horizontal and vertical slits, which, in turn, define the limits of the irradiation area on the sample. Sample temperature and conditions during irradiation are additionally monitored by a set of thermocouples, an IR camera, and a video camera. Particular care is dedicated to the mitigation of carbon contamination during ion irradiation.
