surface plasmons not exist for transverse electric polarisation? and only exist for transverse magnetic polarisation
can anyone help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee please

No, SPs exist for both (s & p) polarizations.
The usual case of p-polarization can be found in the standard textbooks. For s-polarization i refer you to R. Ruppin - Phys.Lett.A 277, 61 because i find it difficult to explain it in words.
