A comparison of phenomenological features of plasmas is made with a special emphasis on radio-frequency induced transport, which are maintained when a set of two closely spaced dual half-turn antennas in a central cell of the Phaedrus-B axisymmetric tandem mirror ͓J. J. Browning et al., Phys. Fluids B 1, 1692 ͑1989͔͒ is phased to excite electromagnetic fields in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies ͑ICRF͒ with mϭϪ1 ͑rotating with ions͒ and mϭϩ1 ͑rotating with electrons͒ azimuthal modes. Positive and negative electric currents are measured to flow axially to the end walls in the cases of mϭϪ1 and mϭϩ1 excitations, respectively. These parallel nonambipolar ion and electron fluxes are observed to be accompanied by azimuthal ion flows in the same directions as the antenna-excitation modes m. The phenomena are argued in terms of radial particle fluxes due to a nonambipolar transport mechanism ͓Hojo and Hatori, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 60, 2510 ͑1991͒; Hatakeyama et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 60, 2815 ͑1991͒, and Phys. Rev. E 52, 6664 ͑1995͔͒, which are induced when azimuthally traveling ICRF waves are absorbed in the magnetized plasma column.
