ambipolar diffusion
Definition(s)
- Ambipolar diffusion (ambipolar: relating to or consisting of both electrons and positive ions moving in opposite directions) is diffusion of positive and negative species with opposite electrical charge due to their interaction via an electric field. In the case of ionic crystals, the fluxes of the diffusing species are coupled, while in a plasma the various species diffuse at the same rate.
