title: Electromagnetic surface modes in a magnetized quantum electron-hole plasma.
abstract: The propagation of surface electromagnetic waves along a uniform magnetic field is studied in a quantum electron-hole semiconductor plasma. A forward propagating mode is found by including the effect of quantum tunneling. In the classical limit (ħ→0), one of the low-frequency modes found is similar to an experimentally observed one in n-type InSb at room temperature. The surface modes are shown to be significantly modified in the case of high-conductivity semiconductor plasmas where electrons and holes may be degenerate. The effects of the external magnetic field and the quantum tunneling on the surface wave modes are discussed.
