Abstract
The dynamical response of metallic clusters up to atoms is investigated using the restricted molecular dynamics simulations scheme. Exemplarily, sodium like material is considered. Correlation functions are evaluated to investigate the spatial structure of collective electron excitations and optical response of laser excited clusters. In particular, the spectrum of bi-local correlation functions shows resonances representing different modes of collective excitations inside the nano plasma. The spatial structure, the resonance energy and width of the eigenmodes have been investigated for various values of electron density, temperature, cluster size and ionization degree. Comparison with bulk properties is performed and the dispersion relation of collective excitations is discussed.
