When an atom or molecule absorbs a high-energy photon, an electron is emitted with a well-defined energy and a highly-symmetric angular distribution, ruled by energy quantization and parity conservation. These rules seemingly break down…

It is shown that a photoelectron, on being emitted from a conducting solid, suffers a substantial energy change due to ohmic losses. Almost all of this energy loss takes place after the electron leaves the solid. These losses may be…
