J. Beckers, J. Berndt et al.
Dusty plasmas are electrically quasi-neutral media that, along with electrons, ions, neutral gas, radiation, and electric and/or magnetic fields, also contain solid or liquid particles with sizes ...

Swarnima Singh, P. Bandyopadhyay et al.
In this work, we present the first experimental observation of a triple point in a strongly coupled complex plasma medium. Initially, a 2D crystalline structure of the dust component consisting of ...

Linjin Zheng, M. T. Kotschenreuther et al.
In the H-mode regime of diverted tokamaks, the presence of strong pressure gradients in the pedestal gives rise to a sizable bootstrap current, together with the Ohmic and Pfirsch–Schlueter currents, ...

Christoph Pitzal, Andreas Stegmeir et al.
The Landau-fluid closure for parallel heat fluxes is implemented in the edge turbulence fluid code GRILLIX, replacing the previously used collisional Braginskii closure (with limiters). This extends ...

Eric J. Lerner, Syed M. Hassan et al.
In recent years, the effort to develop practical fusion energy has rapidly evolved from a focus on only tokamak and laser inertial devices to include a wide array of approaches. We survey this ...

M. Granetzny, O. Schmitz et al.
Whistlers are magnetized plasma waves in planetary magnetospheres. Bounded whistlers, known as helicons, can create high-density laboratory plasmas. We demonstrate reversal of the plasma discharge ...
