Hall thrusters do not involve any form of detonation or condensation. They're run on inert rarified gases. There are ionization instabilities in Hall thrusters for which I suppose you could make an analogy to detonation. Rotating spoke instabilities in Hall thrusters do resemble RDEs, to an extent. However, these are low frequency modes and as the post discusses, they are insufficient to explain enhanced transport. The instabilities that cause anomalous transport are probably high-frequency modes which occur faster than the characteristic timescales of ionization.
