Abstract
Jump conditions are derived separately for electrons and for ions. The resulting equations are generalizations of previously derived jump conditions and are shown to reduce to these in appropriate limits. However, even in these limits, these new results are more general, since the derivation eliminates a number of restrictive assumptions previously invoked.Keywords
