• Abstract We reply to the comment by Li et al (submitted to Nucl. Fusion with this response) on our recent paper Nishijima et al (2023 Nucl. Fusion 63 126003). In this response, we address the existence of an incident ion energy, E i , threshold for the deuterium (D) supersaturated surface layer (DSSL) formation with a newly conducted D plasma exposure experiment at E i ∼ 20 eV. It is also further demonstrated, based on new experiments where the ion flux, fluence, and sample temperature are scanned, that non-kinetic (ballistic) processes play a role in the DSSL formation and growth. In addition, the effect of impurities in our plasma is discussed also with a new analysis of the surface composition made after a D plasma exposure.
