Electron excitation in thin metal films due to the magnetic field of ultrashort laser pulses
The behavior of the conduction-band electrons in a metal film subjected to the action of an ultrashort laser pulse at normal incidence is analyzed quantum-mechanically. The pulse duration is assumed to be shorter than the electron mean free time. It is shown for the first time that electrons in the...
