A plasma under laboratory conditions is generally bounded by walls. A wall makes the ion velocity distribution non-Maxwellian, since the wall either does not emit ions or emits them with properties different from those of the plasma ions. An electric field, usually directed toward the wall, has the consequence that at the point x=0 (at the wall), and with no ion emission from the wall, J/sub w/=0, there are no ions with a zero velocity component v/sub x/.
