Abstract
The independent-particle model of inverse photoemission is defined and applied to study the properties of emitted-photon spectra in a system that can be treated analytically: electronic (image-potential) states on dielectric-covered metal surfaces. In particular, analytic expressions for the matrix elements are evaluated, and the intensity, angular, and polarization dependence are discussed.
