Extensive parameter scans with respect to the density and temperature gradients for the zero beta cases identify the microinstability maps that indicate the transition boundary among ITG and TEM. It is found that, in particular for the modes with the ion-gyroradius scale, a relatively more stabilized regime appears along the transition boundary of ITGā€“TEM. Such a valley-like stability structure is not observed in the other cases with the sub-ion-gyroradius-scale. A stabilization effect attributed to the hollow density profile is also demonstrated.}, title = {Identification of electrostatic microinstability maps in quasi-axisymmetric stellarator}, volume = {29}, year = {2022} }
