The main concern of this paper is to analyze a boundary layer called a sheath that occurs on the surface of materials when in contact with a multicomponent plasma. For the formation of a sheath, the generalized Bohm criterion demands that ions enter the sheath region with a high velocity. The motion of a multicomponent plasma is governed by the Euler--Poisson equations, and a sheath is understood as a monotone stationary solution to those equations. In this paper, we prove the unique existence of the monotone stationary solution by assuming the generalized Bohm criterion. Moreover, it is shown that the stationary solution is time asymptotically stable provided that an initial perturbation is sufficiently small in weighted Sobolev space. We also obtain the convergence rate, which is subject to the decay rate of the initial perturbation, of the time global solution toward the stationary solution.

Keywords: large-time behavior, multicomponent system, convergence rate., Sheath, generalized Bohm criterion, stationary solutions.
