Abstract
A simple model of the photoelectric yield is proposed and predictions of the yield and yield spectrum based upon this model are compared with published experimental data for aluminum. Furthermore, simple expressions for the electron emission current for arbitrary incident photon fluxes are derived for the higher‐energy components of the photoelectric yield. Since the electrons are assumed to propagate isotropically, no distinction is made between forward and backward scatter.
