Pulsating behavior of the ion transport has been discovered in the potential well of a magnetized plasma. Observation of the ion density distribution on a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field reveals that the ion transport pulsation is caused by alternation of ion accumulation and release via a spiral density structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
