Calculated Absorption and Scattering Properties of Gold Nanoparticles of Different Size, Shape, and Composition: Applications in Biological Imaging and Biomedicine

TL;DR: While nanorods with a higher aspect ratio along with a smaller effective radius are the best photoabsorbing nanoparticles, the highest scattering contrast for imaging applications is obtained from nanorod of high aspect ratio with a larger effective radius.

Electronic Properties of Fine Metallic Particles. II. Plasma Resonance Absorption

TL;DR: In this article, the linear response theory was used to describe the quantum-mechanical treatment of fine metallic particles with a peak optical absorption around the frequency of the plasma mode and the absorption is broadened by coupling of the plasmas oscillation with the individual electronic states which are quantized in discrete levels.

Optical Properties of Small Silver Particles

TL;DR: The optical absorption of very small silver particles in glass was measured as a function of particle size and temperature, and the shape of the measured absorption band was Lorentzian, as required by the simple freeelectron theory as discussed by the authors.
