Surface electromagnetic waves on a slab of biaxial periodic metamaterial in an external magnetic field

In the present paper we considered electromagnetic surface waves (SW), which localised at the interface of finite periodic metamaterial, that consists of alternate semiconductor and dielectric layers. The structure was placed into an external magnetic field. It has been shown that it is possible to effectively control the parameters of SW (namely penetration depth, phase velocity, mean free path) in the considered structure by the means of magnetic field, thicknesses of the layers and physical parameters of materials which form the metamaterial.
