Description
The observation of a plasma current generated by the absorption of rf waves at th electron cyclotron resonance is reported. The current flows in opposite directions on opposite sides of the electron cyclotron resonance position confirming that the current is driven by asymmetric heating of the electron distribution function. The current (approx.30 mA/W) varies linearly with microwave power and electron temperature and inversely with electron density
