Transition absorption as a mechanism of surface photoelectron emission from metals
arXiv:1412.1935 · doi:10.1002/pssr.201510285
Abstract
Transition absorption of electromagnetic field energy by an electron passing through a boundary between two media with different dielectric permittivities is considered both classically and quantum mechanically. It is shown that transition absorption can make a substantial contribution to the process of electron photoemission from metals due to the surface photoelectric effect.
