Summary Thermo-mechanico-electromagnetic coupled waves propagating in a linear isotropic thermo-elastic dielectric material are theoretically investigated, in case an external magnetic field is applied to the material. Here the constitutive equations derived from the Clausius-Duhem inequality and Vernotte's heat conduction law are adopted. There are three types of coupled waves: the predominantly electromagnetic wave, the predominantly mechanical transverse wave and the predominantly thermo-mechanical longitudinal wave. The first and second waves have no thermal coupling. The third wave has thermal coupling and its propagation velocity and attenuation constant are perturbed by the external magnetic field.
