Physics of Plasmas, published by AIP Publishing in cooperation with the APS Division of Plasma Physics, is committed to the publication of original research in all areas of experimental, computational, and theoretical plasma physics. Physics of Plasmas publishes comprehensive and in-depth review manuscripts and forward-looking perspectives covering important areas of study and Special Topics highlighting new and cutting-edge developments in plasma physics. Every year a special issue publishes the invited and review papers from the most recent meeting of the APS Division of Plasma Physics.
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
We study large-amplitude, very oblique Alfvén waves at low β, with small gradient length scales, comparable to the ion inertial scale di. Such waves have large density fluctuations and slight ...
A Hamiltonian formalism for studying the dynamics of a dust particle with variable electric charge in dusty plasma is proposed. The Hamiltonian and the equations of motion are presented, and the ...
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 ...
Both space charge and dispersion have an effect on high-intensity beams in circular accelerators or transport sections with bending magnets and may lead to emittance growth and beam loss. In this ...
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 ...
