Developing fusion as a viable energy source hinges largely on the availability of material solutions for the first wall and the divertor. We focus on tungsten alloys and composites
Material properties and their effects on the service life of components are investigated and used for concepts of in-situ repair and minimisation of damage
The scope of the is aimed controlling and optimizing divertor configuration, edge plasma stability and transport.
In our team we are primarily engaged in the development and application of highly efficient simulation codes for use in the design and interpretation of experiments in fusion research.
Research for future fusion reactors requires special measuring instruments and analysis methods. These are being developed in fusion technology.
