Surface photocurrents have been calculated using the same surface potential-barrier model to evaluate the initial and final photoelectron wave functions and the spatial behavior of the exciting electromagnetic field. The calculations show, for the jellium models employed, that total surface photoyield versus frequency is highly sensitive to surface electronic structure, while surface photocurrent energy and angle distributions are quite insensitive to it.
