Surface waves everywhere
Résumé
This will be an easy review of all kinds of surface waves, i.e.
waves existing specifically at interfaces between media that are different in some respect:
− water waves
− acoustic waves
− plasma waves (or surface polaritons)
− surface states in semiconductors, topological insulators included
- Dyakonov surface waves (at interfaces of transparent media differing by symmetry)
− ...
Existing and possible future applications will be discussed.
