Abstract
The dispersion, polarization, and energy characteristics of surface polaritons propagating along the interface between an isotropic insulator and an anisotropic superconductor are studied. The permittivity is calculated in the two-fluid model of superconducting and normal electrons. It is demonstrated that the properties of the surface wave are strongly dependent on the physical characteristics of the media, frequency, and temperature.
