Features of a low frequency ion mode were observed together with the electron drift wave type fluctuations by a Langmuir probe array in the bulk plasma inside the velocity shear layer in the KT-5C tokamak.The measured ion mode wavenumber,scaling of the ion mode with chord-averaged density,and the estimatedηi value suggest that the observed ion mode may be the theoretically predictedηi mode driven by ion temperature gradient.
