In plasmas and electrolytes, the Debye length λ D {\displaystyle \lambda _{\text{D}}} (Debye radius or Debye–Hückel screening length), is a measure of a charge carrier's net electrostatic effect in a solution and how far its electrostatic effect persists. With each Debye length the charges are increasingly electrically screened and the electric potential decreases in magnitude by e.
