Surface Wave Echo in a Plasma Slab

Hee J. Lee & Y. K. Lim · Physical Science International Journal · 2016

Plasma echo theory is revisited, and we apply it to a plasma slab bounded by a vacuum. Spatial echoes in a slab plasma are investigated by calculating the electric field produced by external charges and satisfying the boundary conditions at the interfaces. We determine the echo s...
