The electrostatic eigenmodes of a cold plasma with a two-dimensional density non-uniformity
Abstract
A new kind of surface oscillation, which can exist when the usual surface waves are absent because of resonant absorption, has been studied for a non-uniform plasma slab. Special attention is paid to the influence of the boundaries on the eigenfrequency spectrum.
