Abstract

We present a theoretical investigation on the propagation of surface waves on the magnetized degenerate electron plasma half-space with spin effects. Using magnetohydrodynamic model with quantum effects due to the Bohm potential, Fermi degenerate pressure and electron spin, the dispersion relations of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are derived. The dispersion relation of electrostatic surface waves is also obtained by taking electrostatic limit.
