Abstract
The authors investigate the propagation of nonlinear high frequency TM surface waves on a thin unmagnetized plasma layer bounded by vacuum. It is found that envelope surface wave solitons from the modulation of finite amplitude electron waves by slow ion acoustic motion exist. The non-existence of solitons with purely electronic modulation is also discussed.Keywords
