摘要
The optical properties of small clusters of silver and gold atoms were discussed. The properties of metals involved both interactions of light with the free electrons and electron transitions from one band to another. It was found that as the particle size of metallic clusters decreases, the mean free path of the free electrons in the clusters reduces, and the optical properties of the metal in the clusters change.
