Space-charge Sheath

A "Space-Charge Sheath" is a plasma sheath, within the broader category of boundary layers in plasma physics, distinguished by the localized accumulation of net electric charge that creates a self-consistent electrostatic potential drop mediating particle transport between a plasma and a material surface.
