E. Fiordilino, R. Daniele, and G. Ferrante, "Periodic-structure effects on multiphoton electron ejection from a metal surface," J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 11, 1462-1467 (1994)
The multiphoton photoelectric effect on a metal surface is studied with the Kronig–Penney model used to account for effects that are due to the band structure of the conduction electrons and for the possibility of photon absorption during laser penetration of the metal bulk. The numerical results show that the ionization process depends only weakly on the laser penetration length considered. The energy distribution of the ejected electrons is found not to be a fast-decreasing function of the energy and in this sense is akin to the observed distribution.

The entries are self-evident. E gives the reported maximum electron energy.
Observed electron spectra: a, evidence of multiphoton absorption; b, thermal.
Wave functions of the electron in the metal and related quantities contained in them. The parameter n + 1 (n = 0 → ∞) labels the nth valley of the metal; E < 0 is the energy of the active electron; l = a + b is the lattice length scale. Other parameters are defined in Fig. 1. Only values of the energy that make cos(pl) < 1 are allowed. μ1 is a normalization parameter.
