Plasmon decay mechanisms in electron-aluminum collisions
A projectile traveling inside a metal can excite bulk plasmons (collective oscillations of the electron gas) that eventually decay. The two main decay mechanisms are the excitation of a Bloch electron and the excitation of a pair of interacting free electrons. In recent publications we developed a m...
