Abstract
The normal surface-plasmon modes for a thin-layered plasma bounded on one side by a semi-infinite plasma and on the other side by a vacuum are determined. The characteristic frequencies of the coupled modes resulting from surface oscillations of the plasma-plasma interface and the plasma-vacuum interface are found. The relevance of these results to recent experiments by MacRae, Müller, Lander, Morrison, and Phillips is indicated.Keywords
