Abstract
Excitation by the incident light of surface plasma waves (SPW) may increase dramatically the electron emission from metal surfaces. Respective enhancements of volume and surface photoeffects are quantitatively determined for smooth thin cesiated aluminium films, in excellent agreement with measured values of the photo-yield in the whole photon energy domain 1.5 < ħω < 4 eVKeywords
