摘要:Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs), which change the magnetic topology, have been applied to control the edge-localized modes (ELMs) in many tokamak experiments. The nonaxisymmetric helical currents induced by lower hybrid waves in the scrape-off layer (SOL) were observed to impact the magnetic topology profoundly and mitigated ELMs strongly in EAST (Liang et al 2013 Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 235002). In this paper, we present electrode biasing in the SOL as an alternative method to drive the non-axisymmetric helical currents in J-TEXT. A significant SOL current (e.g. ~150 A) was induced throug
