The stability of an inhomogeneous semiinfinite plasma in a high- frequency electric field and a constant magnetic field is investigated. Under pararmtric resonance conditions the plasma is unstable against longitudinal surface waves with phase velocity greater than the thermal velocity. Expressions for the growth rates are derived. The threshold values of the external field are obtained by setting the growth rates equal to zero. (auth)
