Abstract

Electromagnetic surface waves propagating along the plasma-vacuum interface parallel to an applied magnetic field are studied. New modes for which the field components are degenerate, not reported in the earlier investigation of Kotsarenko and Fedorchenko (1969), are found and discussed. These modes, which propagate up to the plasma frequency for all values of the magnetic field, start as forward waves at low frequency but smoothly change into the backward mode as the frequency increases.
