For both instabilities, the slowing-down duration decreases with the increase in the external RMP, and the RMP dependence is consistent with the braking model of the j × B force due to the interaction between the instabilities and the external RMP. Moreover, the relationship between the amplitude and the frequency of both locked-mode-like instabilities during the slowing down is consistent with the force balance model between the j × B force due to the external RMP and a viscous force. These results suggest that the slowing down of both locked-mode-like instabilities with finite external RMP occurs due to the j × B force driven by the external RMP.}, title = {External RMP effect on locked-mode-like instability in helical plasmas}, volume = {61}, year = {2020} }
