Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuantum Mechanical Calculation of the Optical Absorption of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles by Density Functional TheoryElham Gharibshahi, Elias SaionProblem statement: Metal nanoparticles confine the motion of conduction electrons and exhibit a strong optical absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the UV-vis-NIR region. The absorption is classically derived from the collective oscillations of free electrons in a metallic nanostructure as a consequence of incident electromagnetic radiation polarizing the particle optically embedded in a dielectric matrix. These oscillations, known as the … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 16,181 accessesView PDF Cite
