Operation Mode Transitions in a Heaterless Hollow Cathode
… of high-energy ions generated in the plasma plume. These ions impact the cathode's keeper electrode destroying it over a period of tens of thousands of hours. The increased interest in high-power electric propulsion systems has been motivated by proposed missions with long required lifetimes, …

Development and Modelling of a Low Current LaB₆ Heaterless Hollow Cathode
… characteristics compared to xenon. An original model for the insert region plasma is derived by combining several analyses in literature. This model allows the simultaneous calculation of many plasma and thermal parameters in the cathode using only two completely unobtrusive measurements, and …
