Turbulence Phase Space in Simple Magnetized Toroidal Plasmas

Plasma turbulence in a simple magnetized torus (SMT) is explored for the first time with three-dimensional global fluid simulations. Three turbulence regimes are described: an ideal interchange mode regime, a previously undiscovered resistive interchange m ...

Rapid Fourier space solution of linear partial differential equations in toroidal magnetic confinement geometries

Laurent Villard, Trach-Minh Tran, Alberto Bottino, Sébastien Jolliet, Ben McMillan, Paolo Angelino

Fluctuating quantities in magnetic confinement geometries often inherit a strong anisotropy along the field lines. One technique for describing these structures is the use of a certain set of Fourier components on the tori of nested flux surfaces. We descr ...

Different pressure behavior of GaN/AlGaN quantum structures grown along polar and nonpolar crystallographic directions

Nicolas Grandjean

High quality GaN/AlGaN multiquantum well (QW) structures were grown by ammonia molecular beam epitaxy along the (0001) polar and (11 (2) over bar0) nonpolar directions. Each sample contains three QWs with thicknesses of 2, 3, and 4 nm as well as 10 nm Al0. ...

Fluid code simulations of radial electric field in the scrape-off layer of JET

Richard Pitts

Recent simulations of JET and ASDEX Upgrade plasmas with EDGE2D and SOLPS, respectively, showed that upstream radial electric field in the scrape-off layer (SOL) is substantially below values expected from simple estimates, based on the effects of the pote ...

Gyrokinetic particle-in-cell global simulations of ion-temperature-gradient and collisionless-trapped-electron-mode turbulence in tokamaks

Sébastien Jolliet

The goal of thermonuclear fusion research is to provide power plants, that will be able to produce one gigawatt of electricity. Among the different ways to achieve fusion, the tokamak, based on magnetic confinement, is the most promising one. A gas is heat ...

Transition from drift to interchange instabilities in an open magnetic field line configuration

Ambrogio Fasoli, Paolo Ricci, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli

The transition from a regime dominated by drift instabilities to a regime dominated by pure interchange instabilities is investigated and characterized in the simple magnetized toroidal device TORPEX [TORoidal Plasma EXperiment, A. Fasoli et al., Phys. of ...

The role of the density gradient on intermittent cross-field transport events in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli

Intermittent cross-field particle transport events (ITEs) are studied in the basic toroidal device TORPEX [TORoidal Plasma EXperiment, A. Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006)], with focus on the role of the density gradient. ITEs are due to the i ...

A semiclassical approach for electro-optic effect

Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

In this article, we present a semiclassical approach for modeling of electro-optic (EO) effect. We calculate phase retardation between x and y polarizations of optical electric field when a transverse external electric field is applied. Our results are wel ...

ELM transport in the JET scrape-off layer

Richard Pitts, Gilles Arnoux

This contribution summarizes a number of aspects of the experimental and modelling programme at JET aimed at improving the characterization and understanding of edge localized mode (ELM) transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL). Divertor target energy depos ...

Amorphous hafnium silicates: structural, electronic and dielectric properties

Alfredo Pasquarello, Peter Broqvist

Models of amorphous (HfO2)x(SiO2)(1), for varying hafnium, content x are generated by ab initio molecular dynamics. The structural properties are analyzed in terms of pair distribution functions from which typical bond lengths and coordination numbers are ...
