文摘

Fractal structures are typically found in chaotic orbits of area-preserving dynamical systems, and they influence its transport properties. We identify a number of fractal structures in a problem of interest in plasma physics: the drift motion of charged particles in a magnetized plasma under the action of two drift waves. The fractal structures we identify are escape basins, describing its fractal basin structure and also the Wada property.
