Excitation of surface plasmons in metal particles by fast electrons and x rays

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The cross sections for excitation of surface plasmons by fast electrons and x rays are calculated within the random phase approximation for a spherical metal particle. The results are compared with those obtained within the hydrodynamic model of a free electron gas.
