摘要: We discuss the response of a metal surface to an external electric field which varies slowly in space and time. An earlier calculation power absorption due creation electron-hole pairs is improved with inclusion interference term between ``bulk'' ``surface'' excitation processes. With these improvements, we obtain excellent agreement measured inelastic-electron-scattering cross section for Cu(100).
