X-Ray Induced Currents on the Surface of a Metallic Sphere.

Abstract

The currents on the surface of a continuous conducting sphere, caused by photoejection of electrons from half the surface, are found in the non-self-consistent, low fluence limit. Calculations describing the ringing of the structure, solving Maxwell's time-dependent equations, are shown to be well approximated, in certain regions, by a quasi-static approximation.
