In this paper, it is shown that under the conditions of total internal reflection of plane homogeneous electromagnetic waves at the interface of a hyperbolic metamaterial and an ordinary isotropic medium, special inhomogeneous electromagnetic waves are excited in certain circumstances near the surface of the metamaterial and their amplitude changes with distance according to the non-exponential law. The existence conditions for such waves are established for the case when the optical axis is located within the interface plane and forms an angle with the plane of incidence. The energy flux and the energy density of special inhomogeneous waves in a hyperbolic metamaterial are determined.

The results of calculating the moduli of the coefficients of the electromagnetic wave reflection matrix (EMW) at the boundary of an inhomogeneous anisotropic medium with torsion using the matrix form of the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method are presented. The effect of the orientation of the optical axis and the torsion angle on the polarization of the waves propagating in the medium and on the off-diagonal coefficients of the reflection matrix is shown.

The possibility is established and the conditions are found for localization of plasmon-polaritons (PPs) near the boundaries of hyperbolic metamaterials (HMs) of both I and II types with arbitrary orientation of the optical axis. It is grounded that such surface PP has the transverse spin momentum which depends on the wavelength of the exciting wave, the orientation of the optical axis of the hyperbolic metamaterial, and dielectric properties of bordered media.
