Abstract

It has been shown that in metals and semiconductors the joint action of permanent magnetic and AC electric fields leads to arising of DC surface electric current. This is due to essentially non-linear dynamics of electronic gas in surface layer.The surface current is linear with respect to external magnetic field and depends quadratically on an amplitude of AC electric field.The conditions for spontaneous generation of magnetic field have been found.
