Bohm Criterion

The Bohm Criterion is a theoretical condition in plasma physics that specifies the minimum ion velocity required at the sheath edge for a stable plasma-sheath transition, distinguishing it from other boundary conditions by ensuring self-consistent electrostatic potential continuity in collisionless plasmas.
