Abstract

I study the influence of the matrix environments on the polarizability of small metallic particles. The experimental data by Charlé et al. [Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem. 88 (1984) 350; Z. Phys. D 12 (1989) 471] for small silver particles embedded in Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, N 2, O 2, C 2H 4 and CO matrixes and the results of Kreibig et al. [Z. Phys. B 21 (1975) 339; Surf. Sci. 156 (1985) 678] for glass matrixes are discussed in the light of the theory and compared with the result of electron energy loss and resistivity measurements for the same atoms and molecules adsorbed on smooth silver surfaces.
