Due to the rise in demand for nanosatellites in recent years, there has been increasing interest in integrating Hall Effect Thrusters (HETs) to provide propulsion capabilities. A key mission enabler for such HETs is a matching neutraliser to neutralise the ejected ion plume. At present, neutralisati...
