Diffraction of electromagnetic waves by an anomalously transmitting metasurface half-plane in anisotropic plasma

Abstract

The paper deals with the scattering of magnetic polarized electromagnetic plane waves by a anomalously transmitting metasurface half-plane, located in anisotropic plasma. Such a medium occurs for cold magnetized plasma, in which a static magnetic field exists. In this case the permittivity of the medium is expressed as a tensor, the elements of which are functions of the magnetostatic field, electron's mass and charge and angular frequency of the plasma. The metasurface half-plane transmits part of the incoming electromagnetic wave with a different angle from the angle of incidence, absorbing the remaining part. First of all, we will obtain the scattered geometric optics wave by subtracting the incident field from the total geometric optics wave. Then the kernel of a physical optics type scattering integral will be constructed with the aid of the integral theory of diffraction. The uniform diffracted magnetic field will be obtained from the physical optics integral. The total magnetic field will be evaluated as a sum of the total geometric optics and diffracted waves. The behaviours of the derived fields will be analyzed numerically.
