Strongly direction-dependent magnetoplasmons in mixed Faraday–Voigt configurations

Abstract The electrostatic theory of surface magnetoplasmons on a semi-infinite magnetized electron gas is generalized to mixed Faraday–Voigt configurations. We analyze a mixed Faraday–Voigt type of electrostatic surface waves that is strongly direction-dependent, and may be realized on narrow-gap s...
