magnetization current
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma current caused by diamagnetic drifts, which are perpendicular to the local plasma pressure gradient and magnetic field.
Pfirsch-Schlüter theory
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma currents and transport caused by the separation of charges driven by charged particle drifts in toroidal plasma confinement devices, not including the effect of magnetic ...
lower hybrid resonant heating
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma heating by lower hybrid waves in which power is absorbed at the lower hybrid resonant frequency for sufficiently high density plasmas or by Landau damping at lower ...
disruption
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma instabilities (usually oscillatory modes) sometimes grow and cause abrupt temperature drops and the termination of a experimentally confined plasma. Stored energy in the ...

drift waves
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma oscillations arising in the presence of density gradients, such as at the plasma's surface.
poloidal beta
Materials science; Material physics
Plasma pressure divided by the energy density of the poloidal components of a magnetic field in magnetic confinement devices.
