What is the differential cross section for photo-electric effect? Is there a paper that explains this in more detail?
Thanks in advance for any responses!

G. Petite et al. Phys. Rev. B v.45, p.12210 (1992). They also give the cross section for 2-photon, 5-photon, and 10-photon absorption process.

That one? Which formula?

Er... you do know what a "differential cross-section" is, don't you? I thought Eq. 1 is that obvious?

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
