    Notes: Analytic calculations of electron transport across a Schottky barrier in 6H–silicon carbide are presented. The treatment includes the effect of barrier height fluctuations and image charge lowering on both the thermionic emission and electron tunneling processes. The results show that barrier height inhomogeneities are very important, and can lead to reverse current densities that are orders of magnitude higher than obtained from a simple theory. Formation of detrimental filamentary currents are predicted. The results are in very good agreement with published experimental data at 300 K. Finally, under forward biasing conditions, the analytical theory yields ideality factors of 1.037 in close agreement with measurements. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The kinetic singular layer equation is derived from the ballooning representation formalism. The mode frequency and the ion-ion collision frequency are assumed to be lower than the ion transit frequency. It is proven that the balance between the instability drives and the small-parallel-ion-velocity (SPIV) effect, instead of inertia effect, has to be imposed on determining the eigenfrequency. Consequently, it is found that the resistive effect is ignorable, while the dominant collisional effect appears to be the collisional contribution to the SPIV effect, leading to the conclusion that the customary resistive magnetohydrodynamic modes, such as the resistive interchange, resistive ballooning, and tearing modes, are nonexistent in this description. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A new non-perturbative and non-variational solution method is proposed for the gyrokinetic equation, based on a suitable approximation for the linearized Fokker-Planck collision operator. The approach, which allows, in principle, the accurate evaluation of arbitrary moments of the distribution function for a weakly collisional magnetoplasma with toroidal equilibria of arbitrary aspect-ratio, is susceptible of numerous significant applications, both for transport calculations, i.e., in particular, leading to the evaluation of neoclassical fluxes, as well for the investigation of linear stability analyses of dissipative perturbations. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Gyrokinetic theory for ballooning modes with frequency lower than the thermal ion bounce frequency is presented. Due to a vast difference of the centrifugal and the Coriolis forces experienced by ions and electrons, the parallel electric field effect is found to be excited even in this low frequency case. Nevertheless, it is proved that, under suitable ordering assumptions, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-structure-like ballooning mode equation can still be obtained. The kinetic effects are found to appear in three aspects: enlarging the magnitude of the apparent inertia, resulting in a real shift of the marginal frequency, and contributing a stabilizing term. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: For circular tokamaks, it is demonstrated, both analytically and numerically, that there exists a new frequency gap within the shear Alfvén continuous spectrum around the Alfvén frequency, ωA=vA/qR, due to the ion compressibility effect. Here, vA denotes the Alfvén speed, q is the safety factor, and R the major radius. The frequency gap width, meanwhile, is proportional to the core ion beta, βi (ratio between core ion and magnetic pressures), and, correspondingly, the new discrete toroidal Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) inside the gap is referred to as βTAE. Collective excitations of the βTAE by energetic ions are also analyzed. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: By investigating the conservation laws of guiding-center mechanics, an extension of quasi-helical static magnetohydrodynamic equilibria to incorporate strong flow is obtained, subject to suitable ordering assumptions. Such equilibria correspond to self-consistent Fokker-Planck kinetic equilibria in the presence of a quasi-helical magnetic field. The effect of small symmetry-breaking contributions in the magnetic field is investigated. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: With the two time scale feature revealed, an analytical method is developed to solve the combined eigenvalue and initial value problem describing the ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes in the toroidally rotating plasmas. With full gyrokinetics and toroidal geometry effects being taken into account in an ordering consistent manner, dispersion relations are obtained for ITG modes both of toroidal and slab-like branches. The results show that the sonic rotation can be harmful for the stability, while subsonic rotation with flow shear can be expected to be stabilizing. The existence of the flow shear leads the time evolution of the fluctuation signals to display two different time scales—a fast oscillating (either fast or slow growing) signal with its amplitude modulated by a slowly varying envelope, resembling fishbone-like fluctuations. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Effects of finite toroidal rotation on the stability of radially localized ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes are investigated analytically for low-beta, large aspect-ratio circular tokamaks. Specifically, it is found that, for the Mercier interchange mode, a finite rotation shear is generally stabilizing. For the double internal kink mode, however, finite toroidal rotation shear further enhances the ballooning destabilizing effect. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Kinetic toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (KTAEs) in finite-β circular tokamak plasmas are investigated. Here, β is the ratio between plasma and magnetic pressures, and, formally, β∼O(r/Rq2), with q being the safety factor, r and R denoting, respectively, minor and major radii. A new effect associated with finite parallel electric field effect due to the ion magnetic drift (IMD) is discovered, which is of the same order as that due to the well-known effect associated with the finite ion Larmor radii. The IMD-induced parallel electric field effect is shown to contribute to potential wells for the eigenmodes. Therefore, the IMD-induced parallel electric field effect can discretize the lower Alfvén continuum along the real eigenfrequency. Subsequently, this new branch of KTAEs could be readily destabilized by the energetic ions. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An analytical method based on two-scale analysis is developed to solve the combined boundary and initial value problem describing the ballooning modes with frequency comparable to the parallel ion acoustic one in toroidally rotating plasmas. A sonic rotation is shown possibly to be harmful for the stability. A subsonic rotation is anticipated to always play a role of stabilizing the strong ballooning modes. But, the stabilizing effect of a subsonic rotation on the weak ballooning modes is negligible. A comparison with the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) analysis is presented. The scheme for including the kinetic effects into the MHD analysis is given. The different features of the ion temperature gradient modes [L.-J. Zheng and M. Tessarotto, Phys. Plasmas 3, 4610 (1996)] and the ballooning modes in the presence of toroidal rotation are also discussed. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
