Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 065001 (2005) [4 pages]Nonlinear Saturation of Tearing Mode IslandsReceived 12 November 2004; published 4 August 2005 New, rigorous results for the tearing island saturation problem are presented. These results are valid for the realistic case where the magnetic island structure is nonsymmetric about the reconnection surface and the electron temperature, on which the electrical resistivity depends, is evolved self-consistently with the island growth. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
