Abstract

We explore the possibility of the existence of plasmonically generated electronic Floquet bands at metal surfaces by studying the gauge transformed electron-surface plasmon interaction in the prepumped plasmonic coherent state environment. These bands may promote non-Einsteinian electron emission from metal surfaces exposed to primary interactions with strong electromagnetic fields. Resonant behavior and scaling of emission yield with the parent electronic structure and plasmonic state parameters are estimated for Ag(111) surface. The obtained relative yield intensities from non-Einsteinian emission channels in photoelectron spectra offer the means to calibrate the mediating plasmonic fields and the therefrom ensuing surface Floquet bands.
