Popis: Photoionization studies of Na20 and Na92 clusters are carried out in a framework of linear response density functional theory. Cross sections show substantial spillover of plasmon resonances to the near-threshold ionization energies which are in reasonable agreements with measurements. The analysis of the oscillator strength, consumed by the cross section, lends further insights. The many-body interaction induced self-consistent field from density fluctuations suggests the existence of an attractive force. This may cause time-delayed plasmonic photoemissions in ultrafast measurements. At the waning end of the plasmon structure, a strong minimum in the cross sections from a correlation-driven coherence effect is predicted which can possibly be observed by the photoelectron spectroscopy.
