Description:
Author(s): G. D. Mahan We calculate the lifetime of a surface plasmon on the surface of jellium metal from the process of the surface plasmon decaying into electron-hole pairs in the metal. We find that this process only occurs over a finite interval of wave vector, and at large values of wave vector. Our calculation cont... [Phys. Rev. B 97, 075405] Published Mon Feb 05, 2018
