Thermal release of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium implanted into a pyrolytic graphite was studied by means of mass analyzed thermal desorption spectroscopy along with surface characterization by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Hydrogen (or its isotopes) ions were implanted into the sample at room temperature with an applied voltage of 5 kV using a conventional ion gun. Subsequently, the sample was heated to 900° C with various temperature ramps to measure the thermal desorption spectra. The implanted hydrogen (or its isotopes) was predominantly desorbed as H 2 and in small amount as CH 4. The desorption spectra of H 2 changed gradually while repeating the implantation-desorption cycles and became reproducible after the total dose amounting to 1× 10 19 ion/cm 2, indicating that the virgin graphite is modified due to formation/accumulation of radiation damage. For the modified graphite, three desorption peaks were observed. The first peak is attributed to the desorption of hydrogen atoms trapped on the carbon atoms in the normal graphite lattice. The others correspond to differently trapped hydrogen atoms in the graphite. The desorption of the first peak obeyed the second order kinetics with respect to the amount of the implantation, indicating that the rate determining step is the surface association reaction of the hydrogen atoms. The activation energy was estimated as 44 kcal/mol for three hydrogen isotopes. However, the isotope effect appeared on the frequency factor: their ratio was estimated as H 2: D 2: T 2= 3: 1.5: 1. The desorption of methane obeyed the pseudo-first order kinetics with an activation energy of 38 kcal/mol.
