    Notes: Fe particles with sizes in the range 1–5 nm, formed by a gas-aggregation method and deposited onto graphite and C60 supports, were studied by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and magnetic linear dichroism. Clusters deposited onto a C60 coated graphite substrate become embedded within the fullerene film, and have an increased resistance to oxidation compared to exposed clusters supported on a graphite surface. No evidence for hybridization between the electronic states of Fe and C60 is seen. The magnetic dichroism signal of the exposed clusters increases sharply with the film thickness because of the increased cluster interactions. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An analysis of experimentally measured particle transport in tokamak plasmas with negative central magnetic shear is presented. The analysis is presented in terms of a simple model for turbulent transport which allows the separation of diagonal and off diagonal terms and allows the direct comparison of particle and energy transport. Comparing the measured fluxes to the fluxes predicted by a simple quasi analytical model which specifies a relation between the diagonal and off diagonal terms allows an understanding of the reason for the difference between energy and particle fluxes. In the center of discharges with a region of enhanced confinement (or internal transport barrier), the ion thermal diffusivity becomes small and comparable to neoclassical values and the particle diffusivity also becomes small and approaches the neoclassical values. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Much attention has been focused on the saturation of stimulated Raman scattering by the decay of its daughter waves. This research has almost exclusively dealt with the decay of the daughter Langmuir wave into secondary Langmuir waves and ion acoustic waves. In this Letter, the decay of the Raman driven electromagnetic wave into two Langmuir waves, two-plasmon decay, is discussed for the first time. It is shown that based on the stimulated Raman scattering reflectivity levels measured in experiments, this instability should be present in current laser–plasma experiments. In addition, experimental signatures of this process are discussed. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The scalings of heat transport with safety factor (q), normalized collisionality (ν), plasma beta (β), and relative gyroradius (ρ*) have been measured on the DIII-D tokamak [Fusion Technol. 8, 441 (1985)]. The measured ρ*, β and ν scalings of heat transport indicate that E×B transport from drift wave turbulence is a plausible basis for anomalous transport. For high confinement (H) mode plasmas where the safety factor was varied at fixed magnetic shear, the effective (or one-fluid) thermal diffusivity was found to scale like χeff∝q2.3±0.64 , with the ion and electron fluids having the same q scaling to within the experimental errors except near the plasma edge. The scaling of the thermal confinement time with safety factor was in good agreement with this local transport dependence, τth∝q−2.42±0.31 ; however, when the magnetic shear was allowed to vary to keep q0 fixed during the (edge) safety factor scan, a weaker global dependence was observed, τth∝q95−1.43±0.23. This weaker dependence was mainly due to the change in the local value of q between the two types of scans. The combined ρ*, β , ν and q scalings of heat transport for H-mode plasmas on DIII-D reproduce the empirical confinement scaling using physical (dimensional) parameters with the exception of weaker power degradation. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Most studies of a gravitationally unstable interface between a liquid and a gas by boundary integral techniques prescribe the motion of the liquid in the far field. The mean gas pressure at the interface is then irrelevant in its motion. On the other hand, when a pressure jump is applied to a liquid column in a vertical duct, its acceleration is determined by the pressure jump no matter how tall the column. Previous studies of accelerating liquid layers [G. R. Baker, R. L. McCrory, C. P. Verdon, and S. A. Orszag, "Rayleigh–Taylor instability of fluid layers," J. Fluid Mech. 178, 161 (1987)] show that the motion of the gravitationally unstable interface depends on the reciprocal of the mean layer thickness H. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic boundary integral method that captures the O(1/H) effects on the motion of the unstable interface with a correction that is exponentially small in H. The validity of the asymptotic approach is confirmed by comparison with numerical simulations of the liquid layer. The success of the approach relies on expansions of the kernels in the boundary integrals, indicating that the procedure for deriving the asymptotic equations is more general than just for vertical ducts or periodic geometry. In a subsequent paper, we use our approach to derive the equations for the formation of a bubble at a submerged orifice that is driven by an increase in gas pressure. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The effect of rotation on the heat and particle transport is measured in the DIII–D tokamak [Fusion Technol. 8, 441 (1985)] for high-confinement mode (H-mode) plasmas with edge localized modes. In a novel experiment, transport is compared for nearly identical scans of the relative gyroradius in co- and counter-rotating plasmas. Since the plasma profiles are the same, the difference in the transport scaling can be attributed to changes in the sheared E×B flow caused by the shift in the toroidal plasma velocity. The ion heat and particle transport are found to be sensitive to the change in the rotation direction and magnitude whereas the electron heat transport is not. Simulations using a gyroLandau-fluid drift wave transport model show that the variation in the ion heat transport for co/counter rotation is due to changes in the E×B shear stabilization, but the electrons appear to be governed by a different transport mechanism. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Sustained stabilization of the n=1 kink mode by plasma rotation at beta approaching twice the stability limit calculated without a wall has been achieved in DIII-D by a combination of error field reduction and sufficient rotation drive. Previous experiments have transiently exceeded the no-wall beta limit. However, demonstration of sustained rotational stabilization has remained elusive because the rotation has been found to decay whenever the plasma is wall stabilized. Recent theory [Boozer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 5059 (2001)] predicts a resonant response to error fields in a plasma approaching marginal stability to a low-n kink mode. Enhancement of magnetic nonaxisymmetry in the plasma leads to strong damping of the toroidal rotation, precisely in the high-beta regime where it is needed for stabilization. This resonant response, or "error field amplification" is demonstrated in DIII-D experiments: applied n=1 radial fields cause enhanced plasma response and strong rotation damping at beta above the no wall limit but have little effect at lower beta. The discovery of an error field amplification has led to sustained operation above the no-wall limit through improved magnetic field symmetrization using an external coil set. The required symmetrization is determined both by optimizing the external currents with respect to the plasma rotation and by use of feedback to detect and minimize the plasma response to nonaxisymmetric fields as beta increases. Ideal stability analysis and rotation braking experiments at different beta values show that beta is maintained 50% higher than the no wall stability limit for durations greater than 1 s, and approaches beta twice the no-wall limit in several cases, with steady-state rotation levels. The results suggest that improved magnetic-field symmetry could allow plasmas to be maintained well above no-wall beta limit for as long as sufficient torque is provided. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Particle confinement was compared for the high confinement mode plasmas with the edge localized mode in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute Tokamak-60 Upgrade (JT-60U) [S. Ishida, JT-60 Team, Nucl. Fusion 39, 1211 (1999)] and the DIII-D tokamak [J. L. Luxon et al., Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 159] considering separate confinement times for particles supplied by neutral beam injection (NBI) (center fueling) and by recycling and gas-puffing (edge fueling). Similar dependence on the NBI power was obtained in JT-60U and DIII-D. The particle confinement time for center fueling in DIII-D was smaller by a factor of 4 in the low density discharges and by a factor of 1.8 in the high density discharges than JT-60U scaling, respectively, suggesting the stronger dependence on the density in DIII-D. The particle confinement time for edge fueling in DIII-D was comparable with JT-60U scaling in the low density discharges. However, it decreased to a much smaller value in the high density discharges. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The expansion in powers of the electron charge, e, for a neutral system of electrons (fermions) and ions (Maxwell–Boltzmann particles) is extended to order e4 for arbitrary values of temperature and density. The methods of calculation of the series terms will be illustrated, and some of the consequences of these results will be discussed. The ionization profile so derived, at least at high temperatures, will be contrasted with Saha theory. Some special features of hydrogen related to the possible plasma phase transition will be noted. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A formal expression for the canonical steady-state density profile in a tokamak can be obtained from the Fokker–Planck-type diffusion equation derived from the Vlasov equation in the limit of anomalous diffusion due to strong turbulence. Here we derive an explicit expression for this canonical profile for a tokamak with arbitrary cross section and aspect ratio. The resulting profile is independent of the spatial dependence of the diffusion coefficient, but does depend on the relative diffusion of trapped versus passing particles. Under conditions where only the trapped particles transport due to interactions with the turbulence the profiles are considerably flatter than if both the trapped and passing transport the same. The steepness of the calculated profile depends on the ratio of the diffusion coefficients for passing and trapped particles. The calculated profiles are compared with measured profiles from the tokamak known as DIII-D [J. L. Luxon et al., Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. I, p. 159]. Density profiles for a typical International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) [R. Aymar, Fusion Eng. Design 24, 977 (1984)] plasma are also derived. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
