Stuck in the Rough: How Aging Reactor Walls May Exhibit Lower Erosion (IMAGE)
Caption
Surface maps and line scans (represented by yellow lines) of topology and aluminum (Al) composition on a rough carbon sample (experiment at top vs. model at bottom). Regions shadowed from incoming helium (He) ions (yellow and magenta arrows) are shaded.
