It is shown to be stable under an external power supply, like a biased electrode at the edge. The radial gradient is governed by the ion viscosity and the nonlinearlity of the perpendicular conductivity. The radial structure of Er and reduction of turbulent transport, which belong to key issues of the high confinement mode (H-Mode) [F. Wagner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1408 (1982)], are self-consistently determined. A bifurcation from a radially-uniform one to a solitary one occurs at a certain applied voltage, and a hysteresis is associated.}, title = {Solitary radial electric field structure in tokamak plasmas}, volume = {Vol.5}, year = {1998} }
