| dc.description.abstract | General physical properties of electrostatic (plasmon) resonances in nanoparticles are presented. Direct calculation of the resonance values of the permittivity of nanoparticles, and subsequently their resonance frequencies, through a boundary element method is discussed. An efficient numerical approach for the calculation of resonance frequencies of a spherical nanoparticle is developed and illustrated, which is compared with theoretical results. Results of numerical approach for a spherical nanoparticle in free space and on a silicon dioxide substrate are presented and discussed. | en |
