“…Recently, the development of new computational approaches such as time-dependent density functional theory [150,151] or abandoning the modelling of a homogeneous electron gas [152] provides successively better predictions for specific systems, but commonly with high computational expenses. Dedicated experiments providing a better insight into the dependence of stopping powers on Z 2 [153] or specifically targeting materials for PFMC [154] enhance simultaneously the predictive power of semi-empirical approaches. Nevertheless, due to the large number of relevant ion-target combinations, energies and experimental approaches, a concerted Stopping powers are crucial for depth profiling, while scattering, recoil and reaction cross-sections are crucial for the quantification of the number and areal density of the target constituents.…”

A brief overview of ion beam analysis methods and procedures in studies of materials exposed to fusion plasmas in controlled fusion devices with magnetic confinement is presented. The role of accelerator techniques in the examination and testing of materials for fusion applications is emphasised. Quantitative results are based on robust nuclear data sets, i.e. stopping powers and reaction cross-sections. Therefore, the work has three major strands: (i) assessment of fuel inventory and modification of wall materials by erosion and deposition processes; (ii) equipment development to perform cutting-edge research; (iii) determination of nuclear data for selected ion-target combinations. Advantages and limitations of methods are addressed. A note is also given on research facilities with capabilities of handling radioactive and beryllium-contaminated materials.
