Abstract
Synopsis.—Theoretical expressions are derived giving the rate of escape of photo-electrons from the surface of a thin metallic film as a function of its thickness. These expressions result from various assumptions regarding the probability of escape of an electron photoelectrically excited at a given depth within the metal.Keywords
