Abstract The results of simulation experiments on studying variation in the atomic composition of the ceramic isolator surface layer in the stationary plasma thruster in its operation on xenon and xenon-nitrogen mixture are presented. The data of the detailed analysis of the ceramic isolator surface atomic composition before and after a plasma impact are given. The experimental results showed that nitrogen presence in the working fluid insignificantly influences the variation in the ceramics surface layer composition.
