Coupled multipolar interactions in small-particle metallic clusters

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We propose a new formalism for computing the optical properties of small clusters of particles. It is a generalization of the coupled dipole–dipole particle-interaction model and allows one in principle to take into account all multipolar interactions in the long-wavelength limit. The method is illustrated by computations of the optical properties of N=6 particle clusters for different multipolar approximations. We examine the effect of separation between particles and compare the optical spectra with the discrete-dipole approximation and the generalized Mie theory.
