A Unified theory of transport barriers (TBs) in magnetically confined systems
Swadesh M. Mahajan, David R. Hatch, Zensho Yoshida +1
A thermodynamic model of a plasma boundary layer, characterized by enhanced temperature contrasts is proposed. The theory is constructed to determine the inner boundary temperature…
Inward Diffusion and Acceleration of Particles Driven by Turbulent Fluctuations in Magnetosphere
Y. Ushida, Y. Kawazura, N. Sato +1
Charged particles in a magnetosphere are spontaneously attracted to a planet while increasing their kinetic energy via inward diffusion process. A constraint on particles' micro-sc…
Measurement of Wave Electric Fields in Plasmas by Electro-Optic Probe
M. Nishiura, Z. Yoshida, T. Mushiake +10
Electric field measurement in plasmas permits quantitative comparison between the experiment and the simulation in this study. An electro-optic (EO) sensor based on Pockels effect…
Self-Organization and Heating by Inward Diffusion in Magnetospheric Plasmas
N. Sato, Z. Yoshida, Y. Kawazura
Through the process of inward diffusion, a strongly localized clump of plasma is created in a magnetosphere. The creation of the density gradient, instead of the usual flattening b…
Hamiltonian Formalism of Extended Magnetohydrodynamics
Hamdi M. Abdelhamid, Yohei Kawazura, Zensho Yoshida
The extended magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) system, including the Hall effect and the electron inertia effect, has a Hamiltonian structure embodied by a noncanonical Poisson algebra on…
A Stochastic Model of Inward Diffusion in Magnetospheric Plasmas
Naoki Sato, Zensho Yoshida
The inward diffusion of particles, often observed in magnetospheric plasmas (either naturally created stellar ones or laboratory devices) creates a spontaneous density gradient, wh…
Thermo-magneto coupling in a dipole plasma
Z. Yoshida, Y. Yano, J. Morikawa +1
On a dipole plasma, we observe the generation of magnetic moment, as the movement of the levitating magnet-plasma compound, in response to electron-cyclotron heating and the increa…
Self-trapping of strong electromagnetic beams in relativistic plasmas
V. I. Berezhiani, S. M. Mahajan, Z. Yoshida +1
Interaction of an intense electromagnetic (EM) beam with hot relativistic plasma is investigated. It is shown that the thermal pressure brings about a fundamental change in the dyn…
