A study is made of the propagation of transverse electromagnetic waves in a drifted plasma, in the presence of a longitudinal d-c magnetic field. The complex conductivity of such a plasma containing two kinds of particles of opposite charge (for instance electrons and holes in a semiconductor) is first derived. From the dispersion relations, the conditions for instability or amplification of the wave are then deduced. The threshold drifting electric fleld E/sub DO/ is derived as a function of the longitudinal magnetic field B/sub O/ and the frequency of the wave. This formula is applied to a practical case, namely InSb at 77 deg K and 300 deg K. (auth)
