A model has earlier been proposed for a boundary layer which separates a cloud of matter from one of antimatter in a magnetized ambiplasma. This paper extends the layer analysis to the existence condition of a steady equilibrium state. It is shown that, with the constraints of the earlier considered transport and radiation phenomena, limitation in the beta value (ratio between ambiplasma and magnetic field pressures) leads to a corresponding limitation in the high- and low-energy particle densities at a given characteristic magnetic field strength. The disruption of the matter-antimatter boundary layers at the critical beta value may have an application to a cosmological model of the plasma universe proposed by Alfvén (1981, 1986). According to this model there is a "Bigger-Big-Bang" turning point between contraction and expansion of the Universe at which large amounts of annihilation energy are released.
