Electron emission from plasmonically induced Floquet bands at metal surfaces

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We explore the possibility of existence of plasmonically generated electronic Floquet bands at metal surfaces by studying the gauge transformed electron-surface plasmon interaction in the prepumped plasmonic coherent state environment. These bands may promote non-Einsteinian electron emission from metal surfaces exposed to primary interactions with strong electromagnetic fields. Resonant behaviour and scaling of emission yield with the parent electronic structure and plasmonic state parameters are estimated for Ag(111) surface. Relative yield intensities from non-Einsteinian emission channels in photoelectron spectra offer the means to calibrate the mediating plasmonic fields and therefrom ensuing surface Floquet bands.
