Abstract
The spectra of low-frequency surface waves propagating along a warm magneto- plasma layer bounded by dielectric are investigated, using a two-fluid hydrodynamic plasma model. It is shown that such propagation is possible only for some definite directions of the external magnetic field B0, with respect to the plasma-dielectric interfaces. The spectra obtained for a thick plasma layer correspond to the well-known results for a magneto-active plasma, bounded on one side by a vacuum, derived in the limit of one-fluid hydrodynamics.Keywords
