Helicons, Magnetoplasma Edge, and Faraday Rotation in Solid State Plasmas at Microwave Frequencies

Abstract

The effect of magnetic field on propagation of electromagnetic waves through free carrier plasmas in semiconductors is discussed. The Faraday configuration and the parameter ranges ωc,ωpω and ωcτ−1 are specifically considered. Dispersion of helicon waves, propagation near the magnetoplasma edge and (ωp2 = ωωc), the Faraday rotation are developed in terms of the one-electron Drude theory. Microwave transmission measurements at 35 Gc/s on n-type InSb are presented. Experiments near the magnetoplasma edge yield the value of the static dielectric constant of the InSb lattice Kl = 19.3 ± 0.8. Faraday rotation, observed beyond the edge, is found to be extremely large. Some practical possibilities for this effect are considered.
