Bending of a thin tungsten strip, fixed at one of the ends, under hydrogen plasma exposure was studied by the laser deflection technique. Two stages of the bending were observed: a rapid bending of the stripe outwards the plasma and then a slow bending in the opposite direction that is towards the p...
