Effect on Dark Matter Exclusion Limits from New Silicon Photoelectric Absorption Measurements [PDF]
Recent breakthroughs in cryogenic silicon detector technology allow for the observation of single electron-hole pairs released via particle interactions within the target material. This implies sensitivity to energy depositions as low as the smallest band gap, which is $\sim1.2$ eV for silicon, and therefore sensitivity to eV/$c^2$-scale bosonic dark ...

On the photoelectric quantum yield of small dust particles [PDF]
Photoelectron emission is crucial to electric charging of dust particles around main-sequence stars and gas heating in various dusty environments. An estimate of the photoelectric processes contains an ill-defined parameter called the photoelectric quantum yield, which is the total number of electrons ejected from a dust particle per absorbed photon ...

Photoelectric heating and [CII] cooling in translucent clouds: results for cloud models based on simulations of compressible MHD turbulence [PDF]
The photoelectric heating is believed to be the main heating mechanism in cool HI clouds. The heating rate can be estimated through observations of the [CII] line emission, since this is the main coolant in regions where the photoelectric effect dominates the heating.

The exploitation of the photoelectric effect is a prominent method for the in situ measurement of the absolute work function of a surface. In the case of metallic surfaces, the Fowler theory is routinely applied for fitting or extrapolating the measured ...

Transition Rate and the Photoelectric Effect in the Presence of a Minimal Length [PDF]
In this work, according to the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and time- dependent perturbation theory, the transition rate in the present of a minimal length based on the Kempf algebra is studied. Also, we find the absorption cross section in the framework of GUP.

A Research-Based Curriculum for Teaching the Photoelectric Effect [PDF]
Physics faculty consider the photoelectric effect important, but many erroneously believe it is easy for students to understand. We have developed curriculum on this topic including an interactive computer simulation, interactive lectures with peer instruction, and conceptual and mathematical homework problems.

Monte Carlo modeling of radiation dose from radiation therapy with superficial x‐rays
Abstract Introduction Superficial x‐rays (50–100 kVp) are used for treating non‐melanoma skin cancer and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). At these energies, the photoelectric effect significantly increases absorbed dose to bone compared to soft tissue.

Imbalanced Surface Charge Induced Phase Segregation in Mixed Halide Perovskites
The key factor determining the phase segregation in mixed halide perovskites (MHP) is the intrinsic imbalanced surface charges in the crystal lattice. MHP films with excellent crystallinity and surface morphology can suffer severe phase segregation.
