Radial profile of the floating potential, it¡¯s gradient, that is proportional to radial electric field Er ,and phase velocity of plasma fluctuations are determined. Results show that there is a naturally occurred velocity shear layer in the proximity of the last closed flux surface. %K Fluctuation %K Phase Velocity %K Langmuir Probe %K Tokamak Plasma %K Floating Potential %K Ion Density %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.jnpp.20120204.04.html
