Abstract
UV laser pulses of two picosecond duration have been used to observe photoelectric emission and thermally enhanced photoelectric emission from a zirconium metal surface. The data show that the electron and lattice temperature remain approximately equal and the electron-phonon energy relaxation time is less than 1 ps.Keywords
