Plasma Materials Interactions

Plasma Materials Interactions

Plasma Materials Interactions (PMI) are critical phenomena occurring at the interface between plasma and solid surfaces, particularly in fusion reactors and plasma processing applications. Understanding and mitigating the effects of PMI, such as sputtering, erosion, and implantation, is essential for developing durable and high-performance plasma-facing components and optimizing plasma-based technologies. Research in this field focuses on developing advanced materials, protective coatings, and innovative plasma control strategies to minimize material degradation and ensure the reliable operation of plasma devices.
