Abstract

This paper investigates the linear generation of surface waves in both cold and warm non-magnetized and magnetized plasma. Using a fluid-plasma model with Maxwell’s equations in the presence of an external magnetic field ( ), we derive governing equations for wave generation via linear interactions between incident waves of identical polarization. Analytical solutions reveal that both S- and P-polarized incident waves generate P-polarized surface waves, demonstrating polarization selectivity induced by magnetic anisotropy. The results provide insight into wave mechanisms at plasma boundaries and suggest potential applications in plasma-based wave control and frequency conversion. These findings provide new insight into the mechanisms governing surface wave behavior in magnetized warm plasmas and extend earlier studies limited to unmagnetized or cold plasma models.
