MURI Goal 4: theoretical investigations and interpretations of nanoparticle properties

• classical theory: complex e(w) Maxwellís Eqns Electromagnetic response

• microscopic theory: yields e(w)

  • solvent, impurity interaction, effects of external fields, substrate coupling

• dynamical properties:

  • radiative loss, electron relaxation via electron-electron, electron phonon, electron-surface, electron-solvent interactions

• internanoparticle interactions:

  • energy transfer, plasmon shifts, collective modes
