摘要

The dynamical response of one dimensional chains containing 55 till 309 atoms is investigated using a restricted molecular dynamics simulation scheme. The total momentum correlation function of an electron cloud shows resonances that are related to different collective excitation modes of the nano plasma. Spatially resolved cross correlation functions are calculated to deduce the spatial structure and strength of these resonance modes. The dependence of the corresponding resonance frequencies on temperature, density and chain size is investigated. The width of the resonances is analyzed in terms of a mode dependent collision frequency.
