Photoelectric Effect via QED?

[QUOTE="ZapperZ, post: 6016710, member: 6230"] Then what they are doing is describing [b]photoionization[/b], instead of photoelectric effect. The spectrum of photoelectron energies due to photoionization is distinctly different than the photoelectric effect. While in many situations people tend to lump these two phenomena together, to me, it is rather sloppy considering that each of them already have a designated label. It is why I tried to make myself explicitly clear of what *I* meant as the photoelectric effect (UV light impinges on a METAL surface), because there are many other photoemission phenomena that extend well beyond that narrow scenario (example: x-ray photoemission, which probes the core-level states of a solid rather than the conduction or valence band).
