Abstract
In this paper, the role played by the excitation of surface phonons in the far infrared optical absorption of small metallic spheres is explored. We find that for frequencies ranging between 100 cm -3 and 200 cm -1 this absorption mechanism is dominating over the ones coming from considering electronic excitations or the Joule heating.
