Surface plasmon polaritons in attenuated total reflection systems with metamaterials: Homogeneous problem

In this work we study the propagation characteristics of surface plasmon polaritons (surface eigenmodes) of Kretschmann attenuated total reflection structures with metamaterials. Contrary to the conventional case, in which surface polaritons with positive phase velocity appear at the boundary of a m...
