Analytical formulation for the dielectric tensor and field equations of the inhomogeneous drift plasma cylinder in rotating magnetic field

Abstract

In this procedure, the fundamental electromagnetic equations and fluid equations in a cylindrical coordinate system for a new drift plasma configuration have been analyzed. The system is a long nonhomogeneous drift plasma column, which is imbedded in a uniform transverse magnetic field rotating about the symmetric axis of the system. The elements of the dielectric permittivity tensor are obtained for a pattern propagating in an arbitrary direction, and coupling equations of fields will be derived. It will be observed that the time variable dielectric tensor can be written as non-operational Hermitian and pure spatial operational parts which satisfy the limiting special cases.

Hybrid surface plasmon polariton (SPPs) modes between metal and anisotropic plasma interface

“…However, experiments show that propagation of surface wave is possible along metal plasma interfaces due to fact that metal and plasma walls are not in direct contact but are separated by each other by a sheet in which plasma behave as dielectric layer [18][19][20]. The surface wave produced between plasma metal interface are characterized by terms of plasma parameters such as plasma electron density, collisional frequency for their exceptionally tuneability whether external magnetic field present or absent in plasma [21,22]. The plasma material is highly desirable as compared to other dielectric materials which are expensive, difficult to handle, fragile to produce surface wave [23][24][25][26][27][28].…”
