The dispersion and propagation of topological Langmuir-cyclotron waves in cold magnetized plasmas

Journal Article Fu, Yichen ; Qin, Hong - Journal of Plasma Physics

The topological Langmuir-cyclotron wave (TLCW) is a recently identified topological surface excitation in magnetized plasmas. We show that TLCW originates from the topological phase transition at the Langmuir wave-cyclotron wave resonance. By isofrequency surface analysis and two- and three-dimensional time-dependent simulations, we demonstrate that the TLCW can propagate robustly along complex phase transition interfaces in a unidirectional manner and without scattering. Because of these desirable features, the TLCW could be explored as an effective mechanism to drive current and flow in magnetized plasmas. As a result, the analysis also establishes a close connection between the newly instituted topological phase classificationmore »« less

Propagation of radio frequency waves through turbulent plasmas

Dataset Ram, A. K. ; Hizanidis, K. ; Bairaktaris, F. ; ...

The practical and economic viability of tokamak fusion reactors depends, in a significant way, on the efficiency of radio frequency (RF) waves to deliver energy and momentum to the plasma in the core of the reactor. The RF electromagnetic waves, excited by antenna structures placed near the wall of a tokamak, have to propagate through the turbulent edge plasma along their path to the core of the fusion device. In present day experiments, the radial width of the edge region and scrape-off layer is of the order of a few centimeters. In ITER, and in future fusion reactors, this widthmore »« less
Topological Langmuir-cyclotron wave

Journal Article Qin, Hong ; Fu, Yichen - Science Advances

A theory is developed to describe the topological Langmuir-cyclotron wave (TLCW), a topological excitation in magnetized plasmas recently identified by numerical simulations. As a topological wave in a continuous medium, the TLCW propagates unidirectionally without scattering in complex boundaries and can be explored as an effective mechanism to energize particles. We show that, because momentum space in continuous media is contractible in general, the topology of the wave bundles is trivial over momentum space that contains no degeneracy points. This is in stark contrast to condensed matters with periodic lattice structures that impose nontrivial topology on momentum space. In continuousmore »« less
