Interface hydrodynamic plasmon solutions of the Boltzmann equation

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5699295
The hydrodynamic plasmon solutions of the Boltzmann equation for a bimetallic interface are studied. Standing waves are found in the low density metal which decay exponentially across the interface. The amplitude of the exponentially decaying charge density fluctuation is found to be resonant at a frequency which disperses upward from the interface plasmon frequency ((..omega../sup 2//sub p+/ + ..omega../sup 2//sub p-/)/2)/sup 1/2/ with increasing transverse component of wave vector.
