The behavior of dust particles made of different fusion-related materials (Li, Be, B, C, Fe, Mo, or W) in tokamak plasmas is simulated using the dust transport code DUSTT [A. Pigarov, Phys. Plasmas 12, 122508 (2005)]. The dependencies of the characteristic lifetime of dust particles on plasma parameters are compared for the different dust materials. The dynamics of dust particles in the tokamak edge plasma is studied and the effects of dust material on the acceleration, heating, and evaporation/sublimation of particles are analyzed. © 2007 American Institute of Physics
