We show that a strongly enhanced coupling of spatially propagating electromagnetic waves to self-guiding unidirectional edge states (UESs) can be achieved by engineering a magnetic plasmonic gradient metasurface (GMS) made of an array of ferrite rods. The conversion efficiency of the incident photons into self-guiding UESs exhibits a transition from zero on an ordinary periodic surface to nearly 80 % on a surface incorporating a GMS. The underlying physics lies in that the magnetic plasmonic GMS enables a direct excitation of the edge states due to the band-folding or momentum compensation effect, which are in turn transformed into the self-guiding UESs on the ordinary periodic surface. The excitation of the UESs can also be revealed by considering the partial wave scattering amplitudes of the constituent rods on the surface, which manifests a change from a standing wave in the region subject to an external illumination to a self-guiding wave propagating and confined on the surface, a signature of UESs. The magnetic plasmonic GMS can also be used to implement the unidirectional phase control of the UES and the nonreciprocal Goos-Hanchen shift as a consequence of the time-reversal-symmetry breaking nature of the system and the strong coupling of the incident wave. In addition, the unidirectional features are shown to be flexibly controlled by either tailoring the gradient or tuning the external magnetic field, adding considerably to the performance of the magnetic plasmonic GMS systems.
