Resonance enhanced turbulent transport
The effect of oscillatory shear flows on turbulent transport of passive scalar fields is studied by numerical computations based on the results provided by E. Kim [Physics of Plasmas 13, 022308 (2006)] . Turbulent diffusion is found to depend crucially on the competition between suppression due to shearing and enhancement due to resonances, depending on the characteristic time and length scales of shear flow and turbulence. Enhancements in transport occur for turbulence with finite memory time either due to Doppler or parametric resonances. Scalings of turbulence amplitude and transport are provided in different parameter spaces. The results suggest that oscillatory shear flows are not only less efficient in regulating turbulence, but also can enhance the value of turbulent diffusion, accelerating turbulent transport
Stellarator bootstrap current and plasma flow velocity at low collisionality
The bootstrap current and flow velocity of a low-collisionality stellarator
plasma are calculated. As far as possible, the analysis is carried out in a
uniform way across all low-collisionality regimes in general stellarator
geometry, assuming only that the confinement is good enough that the plasma is
approximately in local thermodynamic equilibrium. It is found that conventional
expressions for the ion flow speed and bootstrap current in the
low-collisionality limit are accurate only in the -collisionality regime
and need to be modified in the -regime. The correction due to
finite collisionality is also discussed and is found to scale as

Electron paramagnetic resonance and photochromism of in diamond
The defect in diamond formed by a vacancy surrounded by three
nearest-neighbor nitrogen atoms and one carbon atom,
, is found in of natural diamonds.
Despite being the earliest electron paramagnetic
resonance spectrum observed in diamond, to date no satisfactory simulation of
the spectrum for an arbitrary magnetic field direction has been produced due to
its complexity. In this work, is identified in
-doped synthetic diamond following irradiation and annealing.
The spin Hamiltonian parameters are revised
and used to refine the parameters for ,
enabling the latter to be accurately simulated and fitted for an arbitrary
magnetic field direction. Study of under
excitation with green light indicates charge transfer between
and . It is argued that this charge
transfer is facilitated by direct ionization of ,

Impurity transport in a mixed-collisionality stellarator plasma
A potential threat to the performance of magnetically confined fusion plasmas
is the problem of impurity accumulation, which causes the concentration of
highly charged impurity ions to rise uncontrollably in the center of the plasma
and spoil the energy confinement by excessive radiation. It has long been
thought that the collisional transport of impurities in stellarators always
leads to such accumulation (if the electric field points inwards, which is
usually the case), whereas tokamaks, being axisymmetric, can benefit from
"temperature screening", i.e., an outward flux of impurities driven by the
temperature gradient. Here it is shown, using analytical techniques supported
by results from a new numerical code, that such screening can arise in
stellarator plasmas too, and indeed does so in one of the most relevant
operating regimes, where the impurities are highly collisional whilst the bulk
plasma is in any of the low-collisionality regimes.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
