Diffusion process in which, owing to the presence of space-charge fields, the negative and positive charges carried by electrons and ions move at identical rates. 1, record 1, English, - ambipolar%20diffusion
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This phenomenon is explained by the fact that the particles with a tendency for more rapid diffusion (generally the electrons) are retained by the electric field due to the space charge. These fields are self-generated within any plasma and act to preserve charge neutrality. 1, record 1, English, - ambipolar%20diffusion

Processus de diffusion dans lequel, en raison de la présence de champs de charge d'espace, les charges négatives et positives portées par les électrons et les ions se déplacent à des vitesses identiques. 1, record 1, French, - diffusion%20ambipolaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Ce phénomène s'explique par le fait que les particules qui ont tendance à diffuser plus rapidement (en général les électrons) sont retenues par le champ électrique dû à la charge d'espace. Ces champs se produisent d'eux-mêmes dans n'importe quel plasma et agissent pour préserver la neutralité des charges. 1, record 1, French, - diffusion%20ambipolaire
