During this period, researchers concentrated on boundary-layer physics, wave phenomena in finite plasmas, and drift-driven transport in magnetized systems, integrating theory with early experiments to form a cohesive view of confinement-relevant processes. The work bridged plasma boundary layers, space-charge dynamics, and instability-driven transport, establishing a unified magnetized-plasma paradigm. Diagnostic and modeling advances began to unify boundary physics with transport theory under magnetized conditions.
