Analysis of Dyakonov surface waves existing at the interface of an isotropic medium and a conductor-backed uniaxial slab

In this paper, Dyakonov surface waves (Dyakonov SWs) existing at the interface between a semi-infinite isotropic medium and a conductor-backed uniaxial slab are analyzed with the help of an exponential-matrix method. The boundary conditions at the interface are formulated using eigenvalues and eigen...
