Bistability of Nonlinear Surface Polaritons in Conducting Antiferromagnets
Abstract
The paper deals with the theoretical investigation of the hysteresis effects and bistability states arising from the excitation of the s-polarized surface polaritons (SP) with the attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique at the nonlinearly conducting antiferromagnet boundary. We emphasize the analysis of influence of the electron plasma frequency on the conditions of bistability appearance. It is found that there exists a critical value of the plasma frequency at which the bistability vanishes.
