Abstract
Abstract The reflection and transmission properties of an anisotropic plasma slab immersed in a static magnetic field normal to the plane of incidence are studied for the case of oblique incidence of a parallel-polarized plane wave. The emphasis is on ‘ the thin-film reflection properties ’, namely, the oscillations in the reflection coefficient due to constructive interference of internally reflected waves from the front and back surfaces of the slab geometry. The effect of the slab width, the angle of incidence and the strength of the magnetic field on the nature of the oscillations in the power reflection coefficient are discussed. The general nature of variation of power reflection coefficient for the slab can be predicted from the nature of the characteristic root q1. In the range of real q1 the power reflection coefficient ρ is oscillatory and the oscillations with increasing amplitude will be more and more crowded as q1 increases, finally giving rise to an infinite number of oscillations around the...
