Low-frequency degenerate surface modes of an electron-hole plasma

The computations of Flahive and Quinn¹ of the dispersion curves of low frequency degenerate surface (DS) modes propagating along the magnetic field in an electron-hole plasma are extended to higher values of the wavenumber. We find that beyond a certain value of the wavenumber the DS mode re-enters the allowed region of surface wave propagation and tends to an asymptotic frequency ω_R (<ω_LH). These low frequency resonances of an electron-hole plasma are discussed with reference to the experimental observations.
