Abstract

Surface polariton dispersion curves have been obtained for an n-InSb—air interface in a magnetic field using the ATR method and are found to be in qualitative agreement with theory. In particular the curves show the predicted non-reciprocal nature of the surface polariton propagation, and the appearance of virtual excitation type branches of the dispersion curves. On the basis of data obtained in zero magnetic field on etched surfaces, the quantitative differences between experimental and theoretical dispersion curves are attributed to surface damage.
