Plasmas confined by a dipole magnet host a multitude of intriguing and non-trivial
phenomena, whose physics is not completely well understood yet. We investigate the dipole …

Making axisymmetric mirrors magnetohydrodynamically (MHD) stable opens up exciting
opportunities for using mirror devices as neutron sources, fusion-fission hybrids, and pure …

This study reports the recent progress in improved plasma parameters of the RT-1 device.
Increased input power and the optimized polarization of electron cyclotron resonance …

A new terrella-like device for laboratory simulation of inner magnetosphere plasmas, Dipole
Research Experiment, is scheduled to be built at the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) …

We report a table top experiment to investigate production and properties of a plasma
confined by a dipole magnet. A water cooled, strong, cylindrical permanent magnet (NdFeB) …

The Space Plasma Environment Research Facility (SPERF) being built in Harbin provides a
laboratory platform for research on space plasma. The vacuum system, as an essential …

Diversity of plasma structures, which degenerates in the ideal magnetohydrodynamic model,
can emerge in many ways in a two-fluid plasma endowed with a hierarchy of scales. We …

The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) is investigated in a plasma driven at steady
