A surface plasma wave propagating over the rippled metallic surface produces static magnetic field via nonlinear coupling of electron velocity with density ripple. The generated magnetic field shows a resonant enhancement at particular values of ripple number. Magnetic field strength is also sensitive to plasma density and decreases at lower plasma densities. The generated magnetic field over a rippled metallic field is larger by an order of magnitude as compared to a planar metallic surface.
