  Abstract:
Considering a piezo-plasma-like medium with hexagonal symmetry whose main symmetry axis is parallel to the z-axis and approximating it by an isotropic medium, the coupling of the elastic waves with plasma preoperties of the medium is studied. In this case, the coupled surface quasi-elasto-electromagnetic wave propagating on the interface of a piezoelectric with vacuum, making use of the mirror reflection model, is investigated. It is shown that the piezo-effect can result in the plasma damping of the elastic oscillations.
