Effect of photoelectron mean free path on the photoemission cross-section of Cu(111) and Ag(111) Shockley states

The photoemission cross-section of Shockley states of Cu(111) and Ag(111) surfaces is studied over a wide range of photon energies. The constant initial-state spectra are very different for the two surfaces and show rich structure that does not follow the generally accepted nearly free electron mode...
