• Are magnetic resonances practical transport controllers in fusion plasmas? the TJ-II experience 

      López-Bruna, D.; Romero, J.; Vargas-Blanco, Iván (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015-03)
      The TJ-II stellarator is a mid-size Heliac design (high rotational transform, low magnetic shear) that allows for external control of the rotational transform profile. The long experience with locating diverse magnetic ...
    • Atmospheric-Pressure Non-thermal Plasma-JET effects on PS and PE surfaces 

      Arrieta, J.; Asenjo, J.; Solís, Y.; Vargas-Blanco, Iván (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015-03)
      The Atmospheric-Pressure Non-Thermal Plasma (APNTP) has become a topic of a great interest for a wide spectrum of applications in different industry branches, including the surface of treatment processes. In this work we ...
