The study of electromagnetic wave propagation through conductors and semiconductor plasma is steadily increasing. It has a great diagnostic value and in the optical wavelength the wave interaction with the semiconductor plasma provides spectroscopes information. It is well known now that the solid state materials normally have a dense cloud of free electrons and the properties of this electron gas or electron ensemble or electron plasma are analogous to gaseous plasma with some characteristic differences. The electromagnetic wave propagation features in the solid state plasma and gaseous plasma also have close similarities. The electromagnetic wave propagating through good conductors interact strongly with the electron plasma and are excessively attenuated.
Therefore, good conductors are generally referred to as dissipative or lossy materials. The sold state plasma supports many wave modes and these wave modes are known as excision. While discussing electromagnetic wave propagation through conductors, semiconductor and insulators one needs to develop certain macroscopic and microscopic models. It is well known that even at room temperature the conductors and semiconductor are characterized by a large number of free electrons. The electrons ensemble in conductors and electron-hole ensemble in semiconductors respond significantly to electromagnetic wave propagation.
