Abstract

Specimens of dust particles collected in the TEXTOR and ASDEX-Upgrade (AUG) tokamaks were examined in order to determine the composition, size and surface and internal structure. The study was performed by means of SEM, TEM, FIB and EDX. The size of particles from both devices varies from hundreds of nananometers to hundreds of micrometers. Dust from TEXTOR contains mainly carbon, boron, silicon, whereas samples from AUG contain also tungsten eroded by plasma from the machine wall
