Mamaluj D. Surface phonon polaritons induced by dynamic magnetoelectric interaction

Objects: surface polaritons of non-magnetic insulator. Goals: theoretical prediction of new physical effects. Methods: solution of Maxwell's equations taking into account material equations with tensors of susceptibility of insulator, which describe magnetoelectric interaction. New results: it has been shown, that the consideration of dynamic magnetoelectric interaction for analysis of spectrum of surface polaritons of an insulator, which is in contact with metal or superconductor, leads to the existence of new effects of switching and rectification of surface polaritons. The effects appear in the presence of constant external (or spontaneous) electric and magnetic fields
