Photoelectron emission spectra induced by grazing incidence of intense and ultrashort laser pulses on a metal surface are studied within a distorted-wave formalism. The proposed approximation, named Band-Structure Based-Volkov (BSB-V) approach, includes a precise description of the surface potential, incorporating information of the band structure of the solid. Results are compared with the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation and with values derived from simpler theoretical models.
