un 2 00 3 Variational RPA for the Mie resonance in jellium
نویسنده
چکیده
The surface plasmon in simple metal clusters is red-shifted from the Mie frequency, the energy shift being significantly larger than the usual spill-out correction. Here we develop a variational approach to the RPA collective excitations. Using a simple trial form, we obtain analytic expressions for the energy shift beyond the spill-out contribution. We find that the additional red shift is proportional to the spill-out correction and can have the same order of magnitude.

How harmonic is dipole resonance of metal clusters?
We discuss the degree of anharmonicity of dipole plasmon resonances in metal clusters. We employ the time-dependent variational principle and show that the relative shift of the second phonon scales as N−4/3 in energy, N being the number of particles. This scaling property coincides with that for nuclear giant resonances. Contrary to the previous study based on the boson-expansion method, the d...

Collective excitations in simple metal systems can be described successfully in terms of a local one-body excitation operator Q, due to the long range nature of the coulomb interaction. For the plasmon modes of a simple-metal slab, momentum expansions of Q are calculated using a variational procedure, equivalent to a restricted RPA calculation. The dispersion relation and the density fluctuatio...

The properties of the low-energy dipole response are investigated for the proton-rich doubly magic nucleus 48 Ni, in a comparative study of two microscopic models: fully self-consistent Relativistic Random-Phase Approximation based on the novel density-dependent meson-exchange interactions, and self-consistent Continuum Random-Phase Approximation using Skyrme-type interactions with the continuu...
متن کاملTunable Plasmonic Nanoparticles Based on Prolate Spheroids
Metallic nanoparticles can exhibit very large optical extinction in the visible spectrum due to localized surface plasmon resonance. Spherical plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years due to the fact that the scattering response of spheres can be analytically evaluated using Mie theory. However a major disadvantage of metallic spherical nanoparticles is ...
