The influence of a magnetostatic field on the dynamics of quasiparticles (plasmons and plasmon-polaritons) in semiconductors with a direct current has been analyzed. The counterflow of the electron and hole continua gives rise to the appearance of unstable hybrid quasiparticles that are intrinsically coupled to both electrons and holes. It has been demonstrated that the dispersion relationship, as well as the increment of growth and the decrement of damping of the amplitudes of the dynamical variables describing the hybrid quasiparticles, strongly depend on the stationary drift velocity of charge carriers associated with the direct current and on the relative orientation of the quasiparticle wave vector and the magnetostatic field vector. In particular, the direct current is the physical origin of the appearance of unstable quasiparticles in the terahertz frequency interval in semiconductors, whereas the magnetostatic field induces additional frequency bands of hybrid quasiparticles, with the number of the bands being governed by the relative orientation of the quasiparticle wave vector and the magnetostatic field vector. The combined effect of these two factors on the dynamics of unstable hybrid quasiparticles in semiconductors provides flexible control over their behavior, which can be used to solve problems in applied terahertz radiophysics.
