摘要
We study the oscillation frequencies and radiative decay rates of surface plasmon modes of a simple-metal sphere as a function of sphere radius without any assumptions concerning the sphere size. We re-examine within the framework of classical electrodynamics the usual expectations for multipolar plasmon frequency in the so called "low radius limit" of the classical picture.
