The effect of neon seeding on different transport mechanisms in EAST is investigated by analyzing SOLPSITER simulations. By evaluating the agreement between experimental observations and the performed simulations, four simulations are…
Diffusion in Yukawa crystals is stochastic due to the thermally activated formation of vacancy-interstitial pairs, which have poor statistics in simulations. This makes it difficult to argue if Yukawa crystals exhibit normal diffusion, or…
Self-similarity is a property of an object or process wherein a part is similar to the whole. Mathematically, it can often be expressed as a power-law scaling of the quantity of interest. Extended self-similarity is a concept widely used in…
Carbonaceous dusty nanoparticles spontaneously grow in nonthermal plasmas from a gas mixture of argon and acetylene. These particles levitate and grow within the bulk plasma for a duration known as the growth cycle ($T_c$), after which they…
We briefly review the recent developments in magnetohydrodynamics, which in particular deal with the evolution of magnetic fields in turbulent plasmas. We especially emphasize (i) the necessity of renormalizing equations of motion in…
The presence of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) acceleration modes in pulsed plasma thrusters has been verified using the magnetic extension of Rankine-Hugoniot theory. However, the impact of initial conditions within the accelerator volume on…
Magnetic confinement fusion reactors produce ash particles that must be removed for efficient operation. It is suggested to use autoresonance (a continuous phase-locking between anharmonic motion and a chirped drive) to remove the ash…
A time-dependent multi-temperature quenching model at atmospheric pressure, incorporating chemical and vibrational kinetics, is introduced. The model provides insights into the pathways of NOx formation and destruction in the downstream…
The impact semiconductor drift step recovery diodes (DSRDs) can have on high-power microwave applications make them a device of interest for future solid-state electronics. However, there is little known about their functionality and…
In this work, we utilize new coil objectives for stellarator optimization with autodifferentiation, including pointwise and net coil-coil forces and torques. We use these methods to perform the first large-scale optimization of planar…
Progress in understanding multi-scale collisionless plasma phenomena requires employing tools which balance computational efficiency and physics fidelity. Collisionless fluid models are able to resolve spatio-temporal scales that are…
We study the interaction of high-intensity Laguerre Gaussian laser pulses with hydrogen-boron compounds targets using 3D particle-in-cell simulations. The ratio of hydrogen to boron is varied throughout different simulation runs as a proxy…
We introduce a Machine Learning framework, HIPED (HeIght and width Predictor for Edge Dynamics), for predicting and optimizing pedestal and core performance in spherical tokamak plasmas. Trained on pedestal and core datasets from the third…
This work builds upon previous studies of nonlinear dynamics in low-pressure capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges, focusing on the electron power absorption mechanism in discharges with various geometric asymmetries. We present a…
The analytical theory of non-linear generation of large-scale magnetic turbulence in anisotropic magnetoactive plasma in the quasilinear approximation without taking into account the direct non-linear interaction of individual harmonics is…
The generation of 200 MeV class protons by irradiating a 25 J laser pulse onto a water target using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation is shown. Two types of targets -- foil and disk -- are evaluated and compared. Disks, which…
To analyze the joint development of two-stream and filamentation kinetic instabilities in a plasma with a particle beam, a quasilinear approach has been developed that accounts for the integral nonlinear interaction of modes arising from…
Spin-polarized fuel (SPF) is recognized for enhancing fusion reactivity, but it could provide other advantages particularly relevant to advanced fusion fuels. In this work, we calculate how SPF in D-${}^3$He plasmas affects not only…
Following a general heuristic approach, algebraic constraints are established between the parallel and perpendicular power-law exponents of non-axisymmetric, highly aligned magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, both with and without strong…
Relativistic electrons colliding with intense counterpropagating laser pulses are expected to lose energy through radiation reaction. However, we reveal a counterintuitive regime where reflected leptons (including incident electrons,…
