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, ...
