My PhD project aims at developing a set of theoretical models to explain the electromagnetic response of metal nanoparticles, ranging from sub-nanometer to hundreds of nanometers and bulk. Simple metals such as sodium and lithium serve to define the zeroth order approximation. The next step will b...
