First, the numerical simulations, supporting the modification of HL-2A and the experiments of HL-2A, were carried out. Secondly, some hot theoretical subjects, such as the interaction between electron temperature gradient turbulence and steamer and the formation mechanism of magnetohydrodynamics （MHD） flow and transport barriers were investigated numerically.展开更多

It is pointed out that these two topological structures respectively inhere in two-dimensional and three-dimensional topological currents, which can be derived from the same topological term n^→·（Эin^→×Эjn^→）, and both these topological structures axe characterized by the φ-mapping topological numbers-Hopf indices and Brouwer degrees. Furthermore, the spatial bifurcation of vortex lines and the generation and annihilation of monopoles are also discussed. At last, we point out that the Hopf invaxiant is a proper topological invaxiant to describe the knotted solitons.展开更多

The random phase assumption is employed neglecting the thermal motion of the electrons with respect to a fixed ion background. It is found that the gravitomagnetic force reduces the characteristic frequency of the plasma thus enhancing the refractive index of the medium. The estimates for the predicted effects are given for a typical white dwarf, pulsar, and neutron star.展开更多

The density-matrix formulism is adopted to treat both coherent and incoherent effects in a unified fashion. Quantum electrodynamic effects are also considered for high-temperature scenarios.

The （111 〉 dumbbell is shown to be the most stable SIA defect configuration with the formation energy of -9.43 eV. The on-site rotation modes can be described by a quite soft floating mechanism and a down-hill ＂drift＂ diffusion process from （110） dumbbell to 〈111〉 dumbbell and from （001） dumbbell to 〈110〉 dumbbell, respectively. Among different SIA configurations jumping to near neighboring site, the 〈111 〉 dumbbell is more preferable to migrate directly to first-nearest-neighboring site with a much lower energy barrier of 0.004 eV. These resuits provide a useful reference for W as a candidate plasma facing material in fusion Tokamak.展开更多
