These two ITB states are characterized by different profiles of the second radial derivative of the ion temperature inside the ITB region (one has a weak concave shape and the other has a strong convex shape) and by different degrees of sharpness of the interfaces between the L mode and the ITB region, which is determined by the turbulence penetration into the ITB region.}, title = {Transition between Internal Transport Barriers with Different Temperature-Profile Curvatures in JT-60U Tokamak Plasmas}, volume = {Vol.101}, year = {2008} }
