Abstract: | A few useful formulas are derived concerning the damping properties of long-wavelength surface polaritons (SP) in a crystal slab. For example, it is shown that the SP propagation length in a metal slab with thickness 2a satisfying (c is the velocity of light and ωp the electronic plasma frequency) is increased by the factor in comparison with the corresponding value for SP in a semi-infinite metal. |
