Optical response of small magnesium clusters
We predict the strong enhancement in the photoabsorption of small Mg clusters in the region of 4-5 eV due to the resonant excitation of the plasmon oscillations of cluster electrons. The photoabsorption spectra for neutral Mg clusters consisting of up to N = 11 atoms have been calculated using ab initio framework based on the time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The nature of predi...
متن کاملOptical response of small silver clusters
The time-dependent local density approximation is applied to the optical response of the silver clusters, Ag2, Ag3, Ag8 and Ag9 . The calculation includes all the electrons beyond the closed-shell Ag+11 ionic core, thus including for the first time explicitly the filled d-shell in the response. The excitation energy of the strong surface plasmon near 4 eV agrees well with experiment. The theore...
متن کاملOptical response of small carbon clusters
We apply the time-dependent local density approximation (TDLDA) to calculate dipole excitations in small carbon clusters. A strong low-frequency mode is found which agrees well with observation for clusters Cn with n in the range 7 − 15. The size dependence of the mode may be understood simply as the classical resonance of electrons in a conducting needle. For a ring geometry, the lowest collec...
متن کاملMetallic evolution of small magnesium clusters
Structural and electronic properties of small magnesium clusters (N ≤ 13) are studied using a first-principles simulation method in conjunction with the density functional theory and generalized gradient correction approximation for the exchange-correlation energy functional. It is observed that the onset of metallization of magnesium clusters is hard to assign since both the s-p hybridization ...
متن کاملTemperature Dependence of the Optical Response of Small Sodium Clusters
We present an analysis of the temperature dependence of the optical response of small sodium clusters in a temperature range bracketing the melting phase transition. When the temperature increases, the mean excitation energy undergoes a red shift and the plasmon is significantly broadened, in agreement with recent experimental data. We show that the single–particle levels acquire a prominent wi...
