This research explores the design and characteristics of column nanocrystal (NC) molybdenum mirrors with a reflective coating, focusing on their resistance to ion-stimulated sputtering, which is critical for ITER applications. Single crystal mirrors show significant sputtering resistance, but advancements in NC mirrors present a viable alternative for larger sizes while maintaining optical quality. This study details experimental samples, fabrication methods, and parameters affecting performance under ITER conditions, highlighting the importance of structure and stability in maximizing mirror lifespan and functionality.
