Abstract
A simple analysis of the photoelectron behavior in the inhomogeneous high-frequency electric field surrounding the metal surface was carried out. The analysis involved classical concepts such as the notion of time-dependent ponderomotive effects. It was shown that the photoelectron energy is strongly affected by the surface-plasmon field.
