Abstract
Electromagnetic surface waves propagating on the plane interface (x=0) between the electron–positron plasma and vacuum are investigated by the specular reflection procedure. The transverse electromagnetic modes are studied in terms of dispersion relation both in the presence and absence of an applied magnetic field. The analytic modes for some limiting cases are derived and discussed with the aid of some numerical analysis. In the presence of an applied magnetic field (B0=B0ŷ) directed perpendicular both to the interface normal and the wave vector, the cold electromagnetic surface wave dispersion relation shows that possible modes appear only when the frequency (ω) and the wave vector (k) satisfy the condition Ω2<ω2<Ω2+ωp2 and c2k2>Ω2 (Ω is cyclotron frequency).
