Abstract

The phenomenon of electric double layers in plasmas as a generalization of ambipolar effects and as an essential time dependent and oscillating phenomenon in the plasma interior, has emerged from studies in laser produced plasmas as well as from similar problems in space plasmas and their laboratory simulation experiments. While these results have been published occasionally in various places including the most prestigious journals and in small topical conferences, there was still a need to enter a more comprehensive presentation and overview into a referred journal.
