Abstract
The band spectrum of natural waves in a periodic structure formed by alternating dielectric and semiconductor layers is investigated for the propagation of waves at some angle with respect to a magnetic field applied along the periodicity axis. A method is presented for deriving a dispersion equation, and its properties are analyzed numerically. It is shown that, in the absence of dissipation, there are two independent spectra of natural waves in the structure being considered, and the regions of existence of various types of such waves are classified. It is established that the transmission bands of the two spectra may supplement one another or overlap. It is found that, for the chosen magnetic-field direction, there exist numerous bands of transmission of cyclotron waves.
