We shall investigate the asymptotic stability, toward a nonlinear wave, of the solution to an outflow problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations. First, we construct this nonlinear wave which, under suitable assumptions, is the superposition of a stationary solution and a rarefaction wave. Then it is shown that the nonlinear wave is asymptotically stable in the case that the initial data are a suitably small perturbation of the nonlinear wave. The main ingredient of the proof is the -energy method that takes into account both the effect of the self-consistent electrostatic potential and the spatial decay of the stationary part of the nonlinear wave.
