Scientific paper

Ambipolar diffusion is discussed for the case of a weakly-ionized, multicomponent plasma. Shortcomings of some of the previous formulations of this problem are pointed out. In particular, it is shown that the polarization electrostatic field acts to couple the motion of the various ions with the result that the diffusion velocity of each ion depends on the density gradients of all the ions.
