摘要
A surface plasma wave (SPW) over bismuth-vacuum interface has a signature of mass anisotropy of free electrons. For SPW propagation along the trigonal axis there is no birefringence. The frequency cutoff of SPW omega(cutoff) = omega(p)/root2(epsilonL + epsilon) lies in the far infrared region and can be accessed using free electron laser. The damping rate of waves at low temperatures is low. The surface plasma wave may be excited by an electron beam of current similar to100 mA propagating parallel to the interface in its close proximity.
