Abstract: The oscillatory motion effect (Zitterbewegung) of Tamm polaritonic states at the interface of two multilayer binary heterostructures with overlapping band gaps, belonging to the $C_{3v}$ point symmetry group and supporting excitonic resonance, has been theoretically investigated. The effect involves oscillations the trajectory of the Tamm state as it propagates along the interface plane. The possibility of controlling the characteristics of the oscillatory motion, including the period and amplitude of oscillations, through the use of an external magnetic field applied in the Faraday configuration, has been demonstrated.

Keywords: Tamm states, oscillatory motion, zitterbewegung, exciton-polaritons, spin-orbit interaction.
