The theoretical estimates of the characteristics of surface plasmon-polaritons at the interface of highly boron-doped superconducting and non-superconducting diamond are obtained. It is shown that at temperatures significantly lower than the critical temperature of the superconducting transition and frequencies below the threshold for breaking Cooper pairs of holes (approximately 300 GHz) they have negligibly small Ohmic dissipation. At the threshold frequency, their wavelength and the scale of transverse localization of their electromagnetic field is of the order of 1 nm, which is more than a million times smaller than the vacuum wavelength corresponding to this frequency. At these frequencies, the existence of Ohmically non-dissipative localized states of surface plasmon-polaritons on non-superconducting doped diamond nanoparticles embedded in superconducting doped diamond is also possible. At a temperature near the critical value (specifically 10% lower than it), the threshold frequency of surface plasmon-polaritons decreases to approximately 150 GHz. In addition they become Ohmically dissipative with a field absorption length of the order of and more than 7 μm, which exceeds their wavelength only at frequencies below approximately 100 GHz. Minimal wavelength and the scale of their transverse localization are also achieved at the threshold frequency and equal 11 and 6 μm microns correspondingly. The localized states of plasmon-polaritons on non-superconducting doped diamond nanoparticles embedded in superconducting doped diamond also become Ohmically dissipative and have a quality factor greater than unity only in a narrow range (near 3.76·1020 cm-3) of boron dopant concentrations in these particles. Keywords: boron doping, Cooper pair, diamond, insulator-metal transition, plasmon-polariton, superconductivity.
