RESONANCES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC OSCILLATIONS IN A SPHERICAL METAL NANOPARTICLE

摘要

Electrodynamic analysis of plasma oscillations in a spherical metal nanoparticle is performed. It is shown that typical reduction in the frequency and quality factor of the resonances with increasing nanoparticle radius fades if the mode number grows. Depending on the particle radius, the resonant enhancement of the electric field might considerably either increase or decrease with increasing mode number. (C) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
