Ambipolar Diffusion

Ambipolar Diffusion is a physical process in partially ionized plasmas whereby neutral particles decouple from charged species, enabling differential motion between ions and neutrals under the influence of magnetic fields, thereby facilitating angular momentum transport and modulating gravitational collapse in the presence of interstellar magnetic fields.
