Abstract :
This paper discusses electromagnetic surface waves that can exist in connection with a planar interface between two homogenous and isotropic half spaces, of which at least one is lossy. The idea is to unify and extend the classical Zenneck wave analysis into the region of negative permittivities. Several quantities that characterize the properties of the surface wave are discussed and analyzed.
