Electrostatic surface waves on a plasma with non-uniform boundary
Abstract
A new analytical method is introduced to consider electrostatic surface waves propagating on a cold plasma. A very simple dispersion relation is derived for a plasma bounded by two dielectrics. Previous theory for solitary surface waves is also generalized.
