Abstract

Threshold photoemission spectroscopy is used to study the formation of a CsAu alloy during deposition of Cs on an Au substrate. It is shown that both the Cs surface layer and the CsAu near-surface alloy undergo indirect photoexcitation. It is found that the formation of a CsAu alloy is accompanied by a sharp rise (by several factors of ten) in the photoemission current while the photoemission threshold remains almost constant. This behavior is attributed to the formation of a band of electronic states near the Fermi level.
