Neoclassical transport processes are important to the understanding of plasma confinement
physics in doubly periodic magnetized toroidal plasmas, especially, after the impact of the …

Interaction between a magnetic island and turbulence has been intensively studied in recent
years with advance of plasma diagnostics in various plasma experiment devices such as …

Multiscale interaction between the magnetic island and turbulence has been demonstrated
through simultaneous two-dimensional measurements of turbulence and temperature and …

Magnetic islands are a ubiquitous feature of magnetically confined plasmas. They arise as
the result of plasma instabilities as well as externally imposed symmetry-breaking …

Neoclassical tearing modes have deleterious effects on plasma confinement and, if they
grow large enough, they can lead to discharge termination. Therefore, they impose a major …

The first comprehensive measurements of plasma flows and fluctuations nearby static
magnetic islands driven by resonant magnetic perturbations are presented. These …

We present a gyrokinetic analysis of the vortex flow evolution in a magnetic island in
collisionless tokamak plasmas. In a short term ω¯ D t< 1, where ω¯ D is the secular …

We perform gyrokinetic simulations to study the effects of a stationary magnetic island on
neoclassical flow and micro-instability in a realistic KSTAR plasma condition. Through the …

Electron-scale turbulence, whose wavelength is the electron Larmor radius, is thought to
have the potential to cause stiffness in an electron temperature gradient and degrade the …

The low magnetic shear in the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator makes it feasible to shape
the separatrix by the large islands constituting an island-divertor, and this can be exploited …
