Department of Physics, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405~Received 24 June 1997!We derive and evaluate a hydrodynamic theory of photon-drag effects in simple metals. Considering ajellium surface obliquely illuminated by monochromatic light, we calculate both the steady surface-parallelcurrent and the emf induced along the surface normal. The sizes of these effects are estimated with a varietyof approaches, ranging from momentum-balance arguments, through sum rules, to detailed microscopic cal-culations using a hydrodynamic description of the electrons’ dynamics. Comparisons between the sometimesdifferent results help clarify the physical origin of the phenomena, in particular, the extent to which effects aresurface sensitive. We also outline a calculational approach that should allow a tractable incorporation ofquantum-mechanical dynamics.@S0163-1829~97!04247-1#I. INTRODUCTION
