Quantum mechanical calculation of the optical absorption of silver and gold nanoparticles by density functional theory
Problem 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 c...
