Abstract

The resistive drift tearing mode is shown to be stabilized by the ion motion along magnetic field lines. The effects of an electron temperature gradient are included in the discussion of the results.Received 14 December 1977DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.40.1500©1978 American Physical Society
